The textures of the rock are appealing. I'd have taken it from a slightly lower stance, so that the top of the rock protruded more into the sea and so was more distinct from the shoreline; and I think a rather lighter touch with the toning would be beneficial.

I agree on all points.

The image is quite muddy with no structural distinction or real interest...it just tone...and I don't think tone is enough.  As mentioned shooting lower would have allowed that rock to be distinct from the shoreline which would definitely help...and perhaps moving cam. loc. to further to right...so the crest of rock in foreground wasn't in the same vertical line as the upper most peak in the mountains in far background

Thanks for the input. This image was a crop from a larger photograph. I agree that the toning is a little heavy. As for composition, I was as high upon the hillside as I could get. Next time I'll bring a pole for my camera

I was suggesting you should have been lower down.

Your image pleases me but I had some difficulty seeing it. It is too small and when clicked it turns to be zoomed.

Do you use a duotone from LensWork ? Which kind of preset, if any ?

I like the white canvas but not the black one. Sorry...

I would also like to see the images large in the screen when looking at the threads and posts as it usually happens.

Thank you for posting. It was a pleasure to see your image !

I find the image interesting and textured, but as it is now, my focuses on the chunky rocks in the left foreground  and stays there... there is nothing to lead me up and into the top.

I did play a little, and cropped some of the foreground off halfway below that clump of grass on the left bottom and the bottom, and dodged (lightened a little), the grassy diagonal between the rock outcroppings in the central part if the  image that kind of creates a path diagonally upward from the right corner, which helps in drawing the eye upward.
