A very dramatic image! I like the blue sky behind and the sunlight breaking through the storm clouds.
I like the highlights on the FG rocks but wish they extended all the way to the LLC.
I would have to print this large and frame.

Appreciate your comments Peter - glad you like it - but am puzzled by LLC.

Hi Tom, Very dramatic sky which gives the image it's strength. I like the rays breaking through on the left along with the opening on the right. Foreground has detail which I noticed on the enlargement. Was wondering if anything was done to the rock with the breaking water on the lower left. It looks like some correction might have been made. Could be wrong...Overall well handled...

Powerful image with a very dramatic combination of sky and sea. I like the range of color and light. Very well done, Tom.

LLC = Lower Left Corner.

Tom, I am liking this better with the bottom cropped above the pool of water in the LLC. :)

Very dramatic image and agree with robert on crop

Hi Tom,
Sky is definitely the star here! I too think the bottom can benefit from a crop or try bringing out more detail if possible. nicely done overall.

Appreciate your comments Dave - thank you. Nothing done different to that rock but that area of the image has a lot of spray from the seaward side of the rock and you are also looking through the spray that is hitting the shore rocks as well.

Cheers Roman for your comments - hope you like the edit. Went for the crop as I don't think much more detail can be brought out of the fg lava.

Tom, I like the repost with Robert's crop idea even better. Now when I look at the the OP my eye is drawn to the pool in LLC. Again, great dramatic sky.
