Beautiful soft sunrise that was a pleasure to work with and some good company thrown in as well
Hadn't been to this location previously but it's superb!

Looking North

Really love the Sydney sandstone

Suns up...but a bit throttled which is perfect

Looking south...that's Suren...retreating after being belted by a wave and swallowing some sea water

Ray,

While these are all very good technically and compositionally,

I prefer #3 and #2 in that order.

#3 Perfect timing with the sun just bathing the rocks with it's rays. the wave action is also nicel timed..

#2 Great composition with the wide angle. I did wonder what you were photographing but now I realise the potential there. :cheers: I might even go back for that shot!

:agree:

nice spotting on that one Ray, that sandstone is perfect for setting up the leading lines for great shots and you have done well with this one.

I really like the last image, however the colours come across to me a bit muted, the warmth is there but the colour saturation is not - this however could be my monitor, so take that with a grain of salt.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
