Light, textures and motion, it's all working just great. I really like how the rocks lead my eye from the FG right into the BG.

Rui,

This is spectacular. I love the water movement in the foreground and the spectacular color tones. The breaking wave in the middle distance is a nice touch to the detail here. Beautiful image!

I like this Rui. The light glistening on the foreground rocks catches my eye first. The water exposure is right on, and the subtle color in the sky is beautiful.

I like the scattered rocks emerging from the turbulent water... and the overcast sky, and the blue tones. An excellent image!

Rui,

Excellent seascape; great composition and balance. I really like the patterns and swirls in the water near the bottom, but a little less excited about the loss of detail in the water at midground, but that's not an image killer by any means. Great sky and overall quite a beautiful image.

Lovely swirling water around some lovely foreground rocks. Looking that bit further into the image you can see a lovely wave breaking in.

OK I'm going to be a little weird here... This is great. Love the swirlyness of it.

The rock on the upper left (monolith) is a little distracting to me because we read from left to right and to pull me up to the left causes tension. I would clone or crop it out. Other than that, rock on!

A beautiful and moody shot, Rui. I like the fg patterns formed by the water, as well as the mist effect in the mg. Nice comp and great control of light. Nice one!
