turtle rock

Here's a photo taken last April near Ballycastle, Co. Mayo, Ireland.
I spent almost all the day along the coast to find something interesting. I finally found these rocks and waited for the right light.
Before sunset the light turned "gold" for few minutes (than some clouds covered the sun wasting the atmosphere).
In the background you can see (very far, very small) Downpatrick Head Sea Stack.

Eos 5D MkII, 17mm, f/16, 45 sec, ISO 50, tripod, polarizer, ND filter.

Sweet light Riccardo and I like the composition. Perfect balance between the sky and the ocean/land in this for my tastes. Also fine textures. No suggestions. I like the image as posted.

Beautiful light and I love the shapes of those FG rocks, Riccardo.

Wonderful comp Riccardo. I really like the checkerboard foreground disappearing into the sea, and the late light is sweet.. This would be a nice vertical too, especially with a booming sunrise or sunset behind it :smile: .

Very nice image. I must admit I would probably prefer it with more static looking clouds.

Beautiful light and colors. Nice use of prolonged exposure.
