Gorgeous sky, wonderful rocks and surf. I suppose there was improvement in the black shadows coming from the use of HDR. I think this one needs a little bit different composition. 8

the only thing that I don't like in this image is the composition, too much on the middle as my personal opinion

I shall be rating this challenge by the following criteria:

1 - Not HDR in my opinion

3 - HDR is way over-done, in my opinion

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion

Your photo receives:

5 - but barely. There is very little indication of any real HIGH dynamic range her. It rests on the cusp of simply being very properly exposed, to my eyes, but there is evidence of controlled highlights that let it pass into the 5 vote territory.

Nice image and colors. It really bothers me the horizon line is not leveled.
