This was taken at Clachtoll Bay in the North West Highlands of Scotland..... beautiful beach in the most tranquil location... perfect!

Beautiful. I'm not sure the frame adds anything, though.

A classical seascape, well executed... very nice.

Classical but beautiful. The breaking waves on the beach give a good dynamic to this image.

I'm with Jeremy for the frame.

Have you tried processing it with a little more contrast? A very nice image that could be processed with different renderings and still look very good? Well done. :)

Thank you and I will try increasing the contrast to see how it looks. I've tried to keep the saturation toned down, do you feel it is about right at the moment or should it be lifted a touch?!?

Thanks everyone for your feedback it is really appreciated.

I like the image a lot and I think increasing the contrast would spoil the mood, IMHO. So I say keep it just the way it is. Beautiful.

Beautiful shot.  The seaweed in the foreground adds a lot to the photo, just enough detail to catch your eye, nice work.

Thank you all very much.... I guess i'll leave the saturation etc as is then  :)
