Hi everyone,

This is the first photo I submit to NPN, so don't be too harsh...

It was taken in Cap de Creus, Costa Brava (north-east Spain). After several trips to this location I finally got what I was looking for.

Taken with a 5DmkII and 16-35 at 17mm. I used a 3 stops reverse ND grad.

Comments appreciated.

Hard to be harsh when things looks so good, Gorka. The shape and color in the clouds makes for a strong focal point. Normally I'd say mats of algae aren't all that appealing, but in this comp they seem OK. Welcome to NPN. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome to NPN Gorka. I am not a big fan of the algae either, but it works well in this image. I really like the leading lines of the composition and the beautiful sky. Looks like an enchanting area. Hopefully you'll showcase more of it on this forum.

First off welcome to NPN, Gorka. The lead-in line with the rocks is fantastic as is the color in the sky. Keep them coming.

Love how the curve of the cloud complements the foreground rock. Lovely first post and welcome to NPN.

Super cool circular clouds. I like how you have a lot of match circular shapes in the foreground. Personally I would crop a little off the bottom but other than that I think this is pretty sweet.

Hi Gorka. Good way to start posting here. Very otherworldly image. Nothing to critique too harshly. Sound image.
