Oh c'mon man, an hour of stormy weather is a great time to take shots, just difficult to keep your lens clean! e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="LOL" /> Love the silhouette, the placement of rock in relation to the sky and sun beyond, the dim available (morning?) light and how the cascading waves draw a direct line from the viewer to the subject. The only thing I don't appreciate is lack of sharpness in the waves at the very bottom-left of the photo. I know it's a function of the wide-angle and ordinarily wouldn't mind it in busier compositions or those with less sharp details, but this is such a simple composition where the sharpness is what makes this photo pop, that I find it distracting enough to rob some of its impact.

Yes good point. It was the second shot taken very quickly and with no setting other than turning the camera on. Turned out I had manual selected and with more care I would have done a better job on the focus. I'm getting a fisheye I hope soon so you will see my toes in the shot

Perfect sky, excellent composition and exposure and those colorful reflections on the wet sand are such a great touch! Must have been a great morning and you certainly did it justice!

Amazing weather! I like that you have not set a shutter that blurs the water movement. This way it's wonderfully crispy and stand in harmony with stormy clouds really good!

I reckon the colour in this one works wonders... really enhances the atmosphere of the coast, which, whilst not completely lost in the B&W, is somewhat different. I think it's a preference thing when it come to colour, but sunburst always look good with a hint of saturation.

I'll probably put the landscape sized one up in colour too.
