The dark sand of this beach is optimal to catch water flows that you can see with rough sea.
Canon 5DIII, Canon 17-40 mm f4L, 0.5s@f13 for the water, ISO 50, CPL. Manual blending of two exposures. Please see larger version

Well done, Jose. Great comp and water movement and great job on the blend! My only minor nit is the blacks in the rock - the eye gets drawn right to those areas that are blocked up, and I would prefer to see a little detail in those areas

lovely flow lines Jose! The image just draws you in. Compositionally, I find the rock blocking my view of the scene, but I guess that's a psychological thing :wink:

Lots of energy. Like the way the warm sky tones relate to the rocks.

Wonderful motion in the water which pulls me into the scene Jose. And beautiful tones in the rocks and sky. Beautiful.
