The hole

I had another mad moment while processing this one and it may be a bit too much for some but I like it.

I will return to this one and process it more conservatively one day because I think it's worth it.

Beautiful colors and a very interesting foreground pothole with lots of great texture. I might consider cropping a third or perhaps half of the sky.

Yeah, maybe too much for me in the literal sense. But in the sense that it's very dramatic, and grabs my attention, I love it!

I really like the colors, but the foreground doesn't work for me. It over powers the beauty of the sky and sea.

Geoffrey,

Honestly, I don't see this as being over done at all. I love the sky here as well as the milky surf. I'm a little torn about the prominance of the foreground pool, but the reflected light and color on the surrounding rocks really helps make this seascape composition work in the end.

Ohhh, how amazing is this. Mad moments lead to some greatness here. Wonderful comp and color, it's a very dramatic seascape. Kudos.

I actually like it, and I don't think it is too much in the processing, it looks natural to me but I was not there either. Good job!

Dramatic and quite stunning. The warmth works very well and the comp is very strong.

Love the mood captured here... primordial in a sense. I wouldn't change a thing here. Nice work!
