    Nice panoramic shot. It makes me want to go on vacation. It could use another element. A boat or someone sitting on the rocks on the right. But a very nice landscape as is. Nice work. I like the crop.

    I like the shot alot. Good job! My only nitpick is that I feel it is lacking something in the water.

    I also think it could use a bit of a levels adjustment, but I've learned to not trust my monitor too much so I dont know..

    Is that a stream of water flowing down the rock to the sea? Is that what you want to show? The center of interest in this photo is not that clear, in my opinion. Perhaps you were not close enough? Something is lacking in both the sea and the sky. I also find the horizon is tilted, too.

    Paul, yes its the same cliff, the caves are LONG like they also go all the way around the corner too this one is shot a week before the post of the icy caves. the blue sky really drew me to this scene and the sun was behind me this time and didint give an awefull glare off the water

    I like the shot a lot.
    The only thing that bothers me is the stream or ice is so vibrant. No matter where I look on the beautiful landscape / seascape my eye keeps being drawn back to the "white streak" in the rocks. It just overpowers the shot for me.
    Thanks for posting it

    I really liked your Ice Caves image. This one just doesn't have as much going on to hold the viewers attention.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Out To Sea

    I like this..........

    The only improvement I could see would be a lightening of the shadows on the left side.....or the inclusion of something else, a boat or a person.
