Kobus,

This came out very good. I like the diagonal the rocks form plus all the geometric shapes in the rocks themselves. The rock out in the water adds visual interest they as well. Slow shutter speed right on and the blending shows lots of details.

Hey Kobus,
You were missed! I agree with robert on the comp and all the interesting niches.....but the UR rock and some of the edges along the water feel a bit dark....did you burn them? A bit of a tweak there will make this one shine!

I thought the same thing but I was wondering if you would mention that. Scary, we think too much alike Roman.

[Bob Miller]

Hey Kobus...Like your image alot. I do agree that the upper rock is a bit too dark

[Kobus Tollig]

Thx appreciate the comments. Did not burn roman. On the raw its also dark.....think its moss. Ill dodge it cause it bothers me now hehehe. Maybe a bit sloppy from my side.

stunning comp and detail bud - love the B&W conversion too. I agree the top looks a bit dark - did you have the grad on here?

[Kobus Tollig]

Yip i forgot to mention the Grad. Darker rock does not bother me Bud. But ill have a look

[Morkel Erasmus]

it's not so much the fact that they're darker, but the grad effect sort of "spilled" onto the edges of the rock (assumed you had it on diagonally) and that catches the eye a bit - not a biggy though :)

[Dave Mills]

Hi Kobus, I like the conversion and the diagonal split within the image.The exposure is nicely handled along with the water flow.I like the fact that the viewer is peering over the rocks onto an angry sea.Good use of HDR...

[Kobus Tollig]

Thank you Morkel and Dave. Appreciate the comments

[Mark Dumbleton]

Super stuff Bud! Love the B&W ond the comp!
