Description
Another coastal shot, again this time in a different style than I would usually shoot.The light was very overcast but the results were pretty amazing considering.
This is also different than my usual style as its in landscape orientation, and also the main subject is central and dominates the image.
I quite like it
Enjoy!

I'm kinda wondering about the other's comments... I think it's exactly the colours and the rocks that make this picture, the composition is perfect in my eyes

I've liked a lot of the waterscapes you've submitted this week, it seems as though you've hit a groove.
Personally, I like shooting in flat overcast light, you get some very even lighting conditions and it gives a whole different mood.
This is beautifully composed, plenty of space around the rock and lots of detail and texture in the rocks.
Good stuff

Waterscapes are pretty much my fortΓ© I think. I really want to work on my landscape techniques but theres no bloody place I can find that really grabs me! Its all too cluttered with trees or telegraph poles etc.

overcast conditions can bring some brilliant results on the coast, unusual composition but I like it

Wow, I love this one. Having the rock in the centre works so well because it really demands attention. The soft water and the rugged rock work so well together. Love the colours too!

I love the bluish tone of the overcast. I like the composition, too.

I really like this shot. I like the way the rock is very prominent in the frame and the way the sea/sky has gone very 'wispy' because of the long exposure. If the sky and sea were more defined, I don't think it would work as well. Fantastic!

Nice..Looks like the tip of a mtn. peeking out of the clouds...Great shot.

just a suggestion.. wouldn't this shot look better in a b/w, tinted in a somewhat similar tone? maybe you could post such version too. it would be nice to compare the two.

Thanks buddy.
I did consider BW, but I like it with the colours. I'm not into the habbit of doing duplicate shots in BW and Colour. I prefer natural shots, as close to the conditions they were shot in as possible. I also don't submit duplicate work in different styles.
Thanks for the suggestion tho - You may be right with the B+W Idea. Like I say, I did consider it but then I thought, it was shot in colour so should remain in colour

understood.
in fact that's very close, (or even exactly like) to my own preferences. though lately i've been heavily reviewing the whole idea of perception in photography, as i got a feeling that this "max close to the natural" thing started to limit my choice of creative options, or smth like it.. hope you understand what i mean.
but of course all this is highly subjective. i think the main thing is that you as a photographer are satisfied with your results. or at the very least with your creative progress that would someday lead to those results. and sometimes it's almost funny, how the shots you thought were throwaway and bad, may end up even more popular than your "good" ones.. go figure

I like the composition even with the rocks in the middleground

If I may ask, what filter did you use to manage 30s shot like this in the overcast day ?
π: 0 β©: 1
This was using a Less 0.75 ND Filter, and a Lee 0.9 Hard ND Grad for the sky.
This was low light levels in the early hours of the morning at around 5.20am (My camera time is out by an hour!)
I am going to invest in a BW ND1000 filter (10stop) so I can get even longer exposures but I rarely want to go longer than at most, 4 minutes which is easy to obtain after sunset and pre sunrise.

Thank you very much for sharing this information, I will try your ND configuration my self one day. I really appreciate it. Thank you Again.

Very nice
It would be even more great if there would not be those rocks at background, only this one alone. I think.

Unfortunatly I have no way of moving the rocks from the scene 
glad you like it
