Amazing light on the peaks, Alberto. I love also the black rocks in the foreground and the reflections. Nicely done!

Beautiful work, Alberto. The light vs dark and cool vs warm comp works well here. It's amazing how much shadow we see here at noon. The light is truly beautiful. Most pictures of this place seem to focus on the black dunes with the bright reeds so this is quite different. I think I wold have stepped about 5 feet forward to take this image so that the brighter rocks were in the fg but then you would lose the sand reflections. The seaweed draped rock on the left is the weakest point. A bit more definition in that seaweed would be nice. But that's not a big issue and is really pretty nitpicky.

Quite the color contrast between the chilly blues of the foreground rocks and the warmth of the sunlit peaks plus reflections., Alberto. A nicely dramatic scene with a fine sense of depth.

Wow! Impressive image of the higher latitudes, Alberto.

Really nice work on this, Alberto. I agree the color contrast here works great with the dark wet foreground boulders and the wonderful warm light on the peaks. Perfect sky for this as well.

Really lovely, Alberto. I especially like the warm reflections on the wet sand, shallow water. The seaweed rock is an issue for me too: lifting shadows or making it more silhouette would help, I think. As is, that one rock neither detailed nor deemphasized.

Gorgeous image, Alberto. Amazing that this was taken at noon. Beautiful light. My only very minor suggestion is to slightly rotate this ccw to level the horizon.

Gorgeous light on the peaks and I love the golden reflection. For me the rather jumbled foreground doesn't balance up with the very attractive upper 2/3 of the frame.

Alberto,
Just simply beautiful. I love how the surf, sand and reflection tie the warm light up top with the cooler, wet tones in the boulders.
No nits or suggestions, this is a gorgeous seascape.

This has beautiful warm and cool color contrast which enhance the mood. The composition also works well by giving it a sense of depth while the reflected warm light connects the foreground to the background peaks.

Look at the color reflected in the sand! How cool. Excellent job on the DOF in this, and that is some sweet light. Good job on the rocks in the FG, I know how hard it is to get detail in dark rocks like that. Nicely balanced comp. Nice one.
