Mel – your work is so sensational.. this image has a certain mystery about it… the colour, mood and the way there is a softness and slight motion to the water in a still image. Great work in presenting such a beautiful landscape! Love the clear open blue sky in the distance… Great shot indeed!

Great use of foreground to bring us into the image and slow shutter speed to blur the water. Where do you find those great clouds I’ve got to move there. Stunning shot!

Fabulous composition and treatment..softly sharp, makes it so organic. One little detail that really does it for me is that small plume of spray at the end of the furthermost line of rock on the left hand side! Ok , so I’m a nut. Well done. Great.

Arcangelina, 10 months ago

Love the way the sea and sky come together.
Capturing the mood wonderfully. Great shot.

Eyal Nahmias, 9 months ago

Beautiful landscape. The quality of light is perfect from the partly cludy stormy sky to clear blue sky in the side, as a promise to what will come next. under water details are sharp and clear and the flow of water above breakes the tranquil surface. Spot on comp, color and exposure. A fantastic seascape.

John E Adams, 6 months ago

So many masterworks around here!!
