wolfowl, your image is such an unusual and unique view, I really like it. Julian, your images impress me because they are so clear, sharp and the colors are wonderful. But, something is missing for me and I am not sure what it is! I think it is the composition. There does not appear to be order. It seems you just pointed the cmera downwards and took random shots of what was there. I miss seeing lines or interesting patterns. The "smiling rock"looks interesting, but it does not seem to be THE main subject of your image. I, too, live near rocky beaches and I have not taken images that really wow me. I know the image is there but, I keep missing it. I like the wet look, the colors and variety of shapes, but how can we make the image a real stand out? (At least yours are better than my attempts.)
