great detail from front to back. Love the hint of a sunburst in the water. Great job on this one!

Wow, excellent scene! The foreground rocks and water are beautiful in the glow of the sunset light, and the sky isn't bad either. Wonderful capture.

Beautiful golden light Doug. The silky water motion is also wonderful.

The water and the glow on the rocks is really nice in this one. The blend is also done really well, even the sun isn't so bright it is distracting.

As the others have mentioned, the light, the flow of the image, and the detail are excellent Doug. The large version is especially nice!

Another "golden" shot Doug, looks like you made out well. I prefer the power of the water flow in the prior shot, but this is very nice too.

Incredible image. Just the perfect exposure in the water for a dramatic seascape. How do you avoid over-exposing the reflective water in the middle ground?

BTW, the large version was well worth seeing! I really enjoyed the detail, comp. in this...

Love all the golden tones and superb detail in the rocks. Feel as though my feet are about to get wet!

The water motion and color are beautiful, but I really like the pattern of the water amongst the textured rocks. That pattern compositionally is extraordinary. Fantastic.

Terrific light and detail here Doug. The water motion just glues all of this together, good stuff

Very nice, Doug, with some fabulous light and color on the fg rocks... great processing there, and also with the water highlights. Love your low angled comp and diagonal lines. The blend seems a bit abrupt on the distant rocks, but overall a real cracker!

This is a beautiful seascape sunset Doug. I think the composition is outstanding and I love the water; perfect mix of foam, texture and motion. Well done!

I like the low angle of this shot. Water texture and color looks great.
