 It may be spring, but at the moment its grey and wet. This was taken on the coast where I live and it reminds me of cold, wet, dark days....
I had to use high f stop and an ND4 filter to stop the sunlight washing out the image, creating quite a dark image. Bit of levels adjustment, soft focus added with photoshop: new layer, blur and blend and voila.

This one just REEKS of "early daguerreotype" genes :-) I like it.

IMHO, A little too much softness - totally subjective. In this case a good contrast between sharply focused rock and wispy sea, from a long exposure might have been better.

Nice subject and good exposure. Needs more contrast though.

Just wonder if the foreground should have more detail, just me
