*Critique Club*
I really like the contrast between the color of the sand and the blue sky. It is really nice to be able to see the texture of the rock up close without the rest of the image really blurry. The sky looks fierce! It appears to be moving very quickly and the wave hitting against the shore also repeats the feeling of strength. Nature is amazing and you have captured it well.
I would love to see this picture without the processing. There are some dark spots, but in a way it adds to the mood for me. I feel that the clouds are oversharpened. The edges are so sharp, that far away just seems unnatural.
I would also like to add that I really like how you framed the image with the rocks starting in the upper left hand corner. My eyes flow right through the middle of the image, as the rocks seperate the land and sea in just the right spot. Please forgive my horrible spelling. I just read what I typed and I sound like a hippie....just a little.LOL Great image and good luck in future challenges.

Heya pgatt, trying again :-)
It is interesting that this free study also uses the diagonal compositional device, but in this case it's a "negative" element rather than a "positive" one. As an aside, I'm a little surprised to see your flare, as I've yet to get any with my 10-22mm. It's not objectionable, though.
My overall impression of this is "too harsh", too contrasty by half. I'd have to see the RAW exposure to know what's possible. It's an immensely appealing scene, but it just feels too blocked up in the dark areas to completely click for me. I gave it a 6, anyway :-)
Feel free to send me the RAW if you wish so I can look at it. |

This is that scene where Charleton Heston sees the hand of the Statue of Liberty sticking up out of the sand and screams dramatially "..you've blown it all to hell!!!"
Excellent job! |

| great capture but on this occasion the lens flare hurts the position of the splashing wave, colours are great too. |

| Nice work on the curves and saturation - the colors really pop! LIttle over burned in the upper left corner. |
