Sorry for the confusion I am still new to the board. Hopefully I did it correctly this time. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Very nice atmosphere and colours. the birds are nice. It is a bit busy, espescially the left side, which is not that interesting.

Hey John,
I think a simple crop to more of a pano....just above the clouds on the right (scroll the browser to see what I mean)will immediately make a big improvement. This does a few things...focuses the attention on the formations and acdcentuates the line. I you are brave....going just above the first little cloud on the right....to a tru pano works even better IMO. I actually like the line you have on the left of the surf as it leads to the central formation....but you may want to do a bit less sharpening there as it does look a touch busy. Hope this helps and welcome to the forum!

Cropped and saved in CS5 using the "save for web" option, I am not sure what that does exactly. Hopefully it didn't add sharpening. I do like the Pano suggestion, thanks for the advice.

Hi John, the pano does it for me.The wet sand's reflected light acts as a leading line taking you back to the offset rock formation. Beautiful light with the birds adding interest to the image. Nice one!

I would like the OP with less sky, I feel the pan is tot constrained and I think the left side and the mountain could be a bit oversharpened?
