    I captured this photo on a sunset shoot on Nahoon reef in the city of East London on the South African Wild Coast back in April.

    I am off to the Kalahari for 12 days from Thursday.
    Thanks to everyone for a great year on the BPN Wildlife Forum! I've had a busy year between work, photography, family and church commitments and hope to be a tad more active (and pro-active) in 2016 here on the forum. Thanks for sticking this one out with me!

    I wish you the very best for 2016!!

    Very nice scene, with lovely blurring on the water. I wonder if a little re-balancing of color would be in order, though. The cyan in the water is interesting but it might be hiding a bit of tonal detail.

    Great movement on the waves and a good composition leading the eye to the rocky islets. Agree with Diane about the water colour, just a touch too much cyan. I am really jealous of your trip to the Kalahari. Enjoy

    Hi Morkel, Lovely cool tones ,well composed and nice use of the shutter speed to imply movement in the water

    Thanks everyone. I will have a look at the colour of the ocean.
    Dan - yes I was sooo hoping for the light to peak on these clouds, but some more clouds to the west blocked it :(
