Terrific shot, Jimmy!

I always enjoy your coastal work Jimmy and this one is just the same for me. Really well seen and processed. I like the FG half circle lines, nice eye.

Wonderful, Jimmy - that's what I call efficient use of the border sharpness of the Zeiss lens. Great colors and contrast, especially on the foreground. The only thing you could take a second look at, is the saturation falloff of the blues in the sky. The top left is very colorful and vivid while the cloud gap to the right is rather pale and warm too. I understand that there's a natural falloff and hue change - it just feels a bit abrupt. I'm talking about a minor adjustment of course ;)

Excellent! Foreground is outstanding . . . as is the whole image.

Wow, this is strong Jimmy. I love the repeating curves and the dramatic sky and waves.

Very nice work Jimmy! I like the curved elements in the foreground and that some of the yellowish tones in foreground get picked up in the clouds.This is probably just a personal preference but I kept wanting to crop a little off the left to get the curved "branch" off of center. I still think it works very well as is.

Nice capture Jimmy, love the rust colored fg, gives this image a different feel. I might be tempted to do some contrast boost in the area where the rock ledge ends and the sea begins, looks a little flat. Could be this monitor though. Nice work.

This is really nice Jimmy - like the comp too. My only concern is that the left sky is so much more blue than the right side. I expect some difference, but that looks a bit too much.

Great way to end the day with a beautiful image. Happy 40th!

Fantastic foreground, especially the opposing arcs of seaweed and rock form. Fantastic sky and reflection off the water too!

Aside from the seaweed being there, I love the shot!

I like the comp, color, and the detail.

Impressive shot! Nice birthday reward to ones self.

Great way to spend your 40th, and a nice image to commemorate it! I too just turned 40 and realized, thanks to live view that need to visit the ophthalmologist, near vision not what it used to be

gorgeous colours and forms here jimmy.

Here's another version with less blue differential in the upper left corner and added contrast to the areas where the sea meets the ledge.

You have color in the clouds that match the colors of the foreground. Nice formations in the foreground and the addition of the seaweed for added interest. Well done.
