Very nice. I like the way the clouds complement the form of the rocks below.

Wow, Frank I just logged on when I noticed this image... This is one of the most appealing landscape scene captures I've for a while...

Dramatic lighting, (I don't know whether to trust my monitor enough to think whether it's a tad dark or not) great framing and lines in this, my eyes are kept in the middle where all the action is, from interesting foreground at the rocks and stuff, through to the coastline and great cloud formations...

It deserves to be printed and framed.... It's a good one...

Cheers.

Awesome. I think this is better than the one of the swimming pool (it was shot there wasn't it?)

One brilliant image from a trip I'd be happy with, but TWO you've gotta be beaming.

Hi

Very nice landscape composition there. Slight underexposed. May be better if brighten up abit so that the sky is more dramatic.

regards,

Arthur,
I actually deliberately darkened the image (in PS) to make it more dramatic, as well as selectively tweaking the levels on the sky to bring out the clouds. Interestingly, I made this image my Windows wallpaper on my monitor at work, and it is slightly darker than on my monitor at home. Also, when I printed it last night, the print was a bit lighter than on my home monitor - just shows that the final output (whatever it may be) is always going to vary from place to place.
Thanks for you comments.
