Taken whilst on a short break in Cornwall.
We bacame stranded on the rocks whilst making our way around the side of the cliffs face. In the end a few of us had to brave the icy waters and wade back to shore. But I took this picture before we got back. It was a beautiful day. This picture will always have a sacred place with me, even if it isn't perfect!

I find the grain in the sky distracting in this particular image. A little NeatImage might help clean this up and make it look more "pure".

Looks like my favorite place

This is a lovely shot, very peaceful and serene. The brightness of the water is very nice considering you can't see the sun, very well done there. The lightness of the shot is a bit wanting for me on the shore and the spots throughout the shot are a bit distracting. And the clarity is a also a bit wanting. I started at a 5 on this shot but am going to a 6

This image is quite grainy, but I like it a lot. The clouds, sparkling water and rocks in the foreground really combine to create a sacred mood.

Great light, good scene, but your camera has done horrible things with the noise and saturation, particularly in the clouds. Least I hope it was your camera.

This would have been a wonderful shot if not for the light reflections on the lense.
A polarizing filter would have helped and should have been able to still capture the rays. Good perspective and DOF.

excellent shot is that sun flare on the pic? maybe a lens hood could help reduce it... a bit grainy too but no points of from me for either 10

The graininess in this image take away from the effect. The moment was right but the exposure was off. I like the composition. 5

Ahh...love the ocean, and your view is nice...a peaceful, could-be-sacred place to sit and meditate.

perhaps the sky is toonoisy and grainy-a distraction really. but he water and rocks are superb.

Nice composition: 3 elements - air land and water - I like the billowing blue clouds, and the sparkle of the water. photo seems grainy particularly in the clouds, and the glare is distracting.

I like the colors in this, with the brown-green on the rocks, the teal in the water, and the blue in the sky. it's a real shame how noisy it is. neatimage might help with that, but you might lose a lot of the detail in the water sparkle.

While I like the mood of this shot there is a lot of noise in the sky which makes it look fake. To me the moonlight on the water is also too blown out.

A bit too grainy for me, mostly in the clouds
