Nice one.......

Did you crop something out of the right side? It looks a bit crowded and then makes the expanse of the water seem too big in my very unprofessional opinion.

Very nice! Tell the Mrs. I said you deserve a nice bottle of wine for that one.

I had another look at it and it wasn't cropped that's just the way I framed the image. I agree it is a bit crowded and could have done with a bit more space to the right of the outcrop. Don't mine the water size as it's the ocean and it's big

Thanks. How about a bottle of Tequila instead?

It is a nice image, but as @Dean_Gretsch mentions the image is unbalanced. To me its bottom loaded, putting the horizon to high in the frame, and creating that sense of crowding. Cropping off the bottom just below the rock reflection on the water will change the whole dynamics of the image.

Thanks for the comments. When I have a minute I will try your crop suggestion and post the image again.

I thought you were a wine guy but I'm pleasantly surprised. Sure, get yourself some good, top shelf agave.

Well, to each his own. I like it.

I think it does a great job of bringing the eye to a far distant vanishing point with the rocky outcrop eliminating any monotony.

Thanks very much. It's always fascinating how to two different people can look at an image, piece of art, sculptor etc and have completely different takes on it.
That's what makes this forum interesting.

This is the calmest water I have ever seen

The trick to getting good, positive responses is to give everyone their favorite ice-cream before you post a pic.
If they still complain you go all Indy on them.

Here is the edited version as suggested by @smoke665 . I can see the merits in both but could still have done with some room on the right of the limestone outcrop.

A 60 sec exposure made the water look like ice.
