Excellent light/dark contrast. Very intense light waves shown breaking through the clouds. The composition is balanced between the weight of the rocks and the brightness of the setting sun. It's nice that the sun is'nt centered; makes it more interesting. But, again...the horizon line splits the frame in half which kind of bothers me. Lowering your camera would have given this the perfect balance because the darkness of the water anchors the whole frame therefore less is needed in the image. Also, you should crop the image so the horizon line is level. I don't mean to be nit-picky, I just try to give a worthwhile critique rather than just saying to you "EXCELLENT WORK, COOL". I can just see a single, tiny sailboat silhouette on the horizon line. Would be pleasant to see.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much for the critiques... They really help and please fell free to leave as much as you want... And thankfully I have 100's of different shots of this image and the one of the path... I will look through them again and try to find ones that I can crop so it isnt so boring... Thanks again for everything and thanks for all the info as I always say I need it! Thank you so much!
