Thank you for any c&c.

Beautiful sky David. I also like the detail in the foreground rocks and clarity of the tidal pool. BTW - Is that a fisherman on the right?

Thanks, Eva. Yes, it is a fisherman on the right. The buildings in the far middle distance are Surfers Paradise. :)

Great sky and colour for sure. The framing of Surfers in the distance is a rather nice touch too. The processing looks spot on.

Wow, this looks impressive. The wide angle and the low position work well. Dramatic scene! Is this a skyline in the distance?
Regarding processing - looks like a grad-line in the rocks, particularly noticable on the one on the left. Does not really disturb, just someting I spotted.

Thanks Didi. Yeah, the skyline is the city of Surfers Paradise. There is a grad line, but I still blended two exposures - and for some reason I just had a lot of trouble blending this one to look natural, so I went with the grad 'look'. Cheers.
