Gull rock

Haven't had much time for photography lately, this image was a quick grab (OK, series of several takes) from this iconic location. Didn't have the time to compose something original or find a new location, just figured there'd be some good light with the storm clouds and made a dash for a spot I knew from previous shooting. The gull helped a bit

I like this composition, but I'm having trouble with the saturation: I think it needs to be dropped quite a bit, especially in the blues and cyans. There's also what appears to be a sharpening halo around the sea stacks. You might also look at bringing up a bit more detail in the foreground sand.

Good effort in tough lighting conditions, Kartik.

Nice scene & good color...a touch too cyan?. Might be a bit cramped- I'd give it a little breathing room if you have the pixels.

I was just there yesterday Kartik. In addition to the saturation, I might back off on teh sharpening a bit. The haols around the rocks are very strong.
