 Taken in Wales this summer a place called Mewslade Bay, Gower.

It was a dull, hazey, choppy day. None of the colours in the original popped, or looked all that pleasing, so I opted for B&W. I think the white of the surf and the black of the rocks give a create contrast.

Cropped and de-sat. Used dodge and burn to add impact.

Gower (and on to St. Davids where I spent much time doing geological mapping) are outstandingly lovely places. People and beer are good as well ;-) The shipwrecks along the coast - base of cliffs - are worthy photographic locations.

I agree with annasense that those rocks could use a little detail. Also, on my monitor, I see some haloing at the edges of the rocks. When projected, this could show quite a lot. Over-Sharpening, maybee?
The composition and the scene are just splendid. You can hold your head high in Club competition with this one.

I really like the contrast. The black rocks makes the white water really stand out but it does look to much like a paper cut out. The sky and water has great texture. This one has serious potential.

great composition, but the post processing needs a little work, especially on the rocks. you need to put some detail back into them, if possible... go to levels and play with that a bit. then i think you'll have a fine photo. :)
