Cornwall, UK

This one is from my most recent trip to the Cornish coast, captured from a similar spot to my previous post but under very different conditions.

Beautiful! What a great looking scene. The light and color is wonderful, and the rocks, water and sky all look fantastic. Especially nice in the large version! A very rugged looking coastline Really nice work Kah Kit.

Definitely get the feeling I'm standing there. Beautiful light and color. The large fg rock seems a little heavy for perfect balance but its an element that creates tension and interest so I'm liking the trade off. Wonderful image

Great location, rock is a little heavy and I would crop about 1/4 inch off the right side, but not a big deal. Colors and processing are nice.

The light is very well done and it's a gorgeous place. I guess my only thought is that the big foreground rock might work better if it were more to the edge of the frame. I find a finger-crop of some of the right side more to my liking . . . that purely personal preference. I'm certainly able to engage with the photo as is.

Great colors and detail. I love the oranges in the rock and green-gray sea.

Kah,
I really love the shot and you have gotten wonderful feedback from others.  My experience with this photo is that my eye traveled to the sunset and was yanked back to the bright rock in the foreground.  I think Tony and Stuart both made good suggestions.  I wonder how it would look if the foreground were darker.  Or perhaps you were looking for the eye yank.
