Wow. This is an image that I can sit and ponder for a long time. It seems that it has many planes of depth. A very interesting and attention catching photograph.

Lovely image, with lots of interesting elements. I like how you've used the arch and it's reflection to frame the distant sea stacks and that cloud. The subtle reds in the seaweed and the smaller rocks at the bottom work very well in leading the eye into the image. I'll bet this would look even better when viewed larger.

Way to cool, I like a composition that when first viewed it takes a few seconds to figure things out. It would be interesting to see the difference with the polarizing filter turned to show more detail under the foreground water but either way a very unique image. I really like the placement of the cloud within the arch to add another element to this. Excellent shot, way to go.

While this is very pretty, it illustrates an issue I have with lots of blended images. For me, this just doesn't appear realistic. Even blended, I feel the sky should be much brighter overall (not so much as to lose detail, but brighter than this). Similiarly, I think the shadows need to be darker somewhat so that the contrast between bright sky/dark rocks should be greater. Of course, just my .02.

Beautiful work Jose, like this a lot!

Jose,

Great capture and process. Comp is perfect.

Very interesting framing. Great overall balance

Fantastic. Lots to stare at hear. Love the comp and I’ll bet you’ll be revisiting this location again for further experimentation.

I agree that the foreground feels too bright and exposing more of the underwater components might benefit this comp.

holy potential batman!!

I like the optical illusion of the reflection widening the arch. The textures here are wild and wonderful. It's a very nicely done image.

Nice and very unique!

Sorry I missed this one earlier in the week... those blending skills are coming on, images like this are a challenge...

Wow.
