Well done composition Kaushik. I like everything about this one. The colors are perfect and I really like

the inclusion of the next wave rolling in.

Hey Kaushik,
I think this works very nicely! I don't mind the rock being cut it the FG....you chose an excellent spot to do it! Just the right amount of softness and great balance with the sky. Very nicely doen overall!

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with Roman, the FG rock's location and cropping is just right. There is enough of it to satisfy the eye/brain need to see what it is. Situations like this with rocks in the FG you have to frame it somehow, and Kaushik got it right with the cropping there.

The rocks also form a good arcing leading line to the sun and BG.

Wonderful composition I especially like how the rocks lead the viewers eyes through the frame to that beautiful rising sun.

Thank you all for viewing and commenting. Appreciate your time.

Hi Kaushik, this is beautifully framed, love the colors and the waves are blurred very nicely. Well done!

Lovely comp, soft light, and the implied motion of the surf is very well done.
