It's usually the twilight where you get these great colors.
I like your selection of Contrast here. Nobody questions the unrealistic long-exposure smooth wave that's become the norm, so what's wrong if the Contrast is slightly beyond real. This will sell. Tone it down a stop or two and you've got an "accurate" shot that no one will buy. Is it "artistic"? No doubt, yes. Look at that surf. It's not real. I think of this as realistic artistic interpretation and it's totally acceptable.
Go check out some galleries where this type of thing sells for $1,000 per 48" print and this'll be the norm, not the exception.

It's a lovely image and capture, Don. Wonderful job!
My only question or comment is that the EXIF in this pictures says that it was taken at 4:12 am and I know that sunrise on the East coast is a little after 7 am. Maybe the time on your camera is off? or was this the light two hours before sunrise? :)
Also, is this by the Jupiter Inlet and Blowing Rocks? I've visited that place many times but have never really been able to capture something like this image. I live about an hour south of that so the trip is a bit long. I will have to try again and again until I get it!

Hi Andres, the image was made about 30 to 15 minutes before sunrise at 7:10 not sure why the exif time is off will have to check my camera
Good guess on the location I live in Jupiter and this stretch of beach is about ten minutes from my house send me a PM and I will give you all the details. You need to hurry once they start the beach replenishment this area will be covered up by sand

This doesn't look over the top to me at all.
Kind of tame by 500px standards.
Other than the stylized water, this looks vivid but not unreal to me.
While 500px can be a little much, I thnk good landscape photography should not be snapshots.
Most isn't and the best ones for me, (Art Wolfe, Marc Adamus), do pump things up a bit.
Yours is well done.

Hi Don, Nicely divided image and well composed. Beautiful light with an interesting foregound. The soft water flow adds to the overall look of the image. Well done!

This is beautiful Don... I especially love the depth you have in the sky. Looks almost 3D
