Thanks Dan. I was worried that I over-did the water. Let's see what others have to say. a

Nice one Artie - I will need to try and get my hands on a 10-stop filter sometime!
I agree the blue might be just-just overdone?
I can also see a crop slightly from the top to make the blue bands top and bottom seem "equally thick".

I like this as a different take on the ubiquitous long-exposure water shot. The mist makes it different and more powerful than the smooth water that we often see. I actually get a feeling of movement from the mist, instead of a more typical, smoothed out waves.
Long-exposure water shots have gotten so common that I miss really strong stop-action water shots. Oh well, that's another topic. Here, I think you've actually added more interest to the mist. I'm happy with the blueness of the water, but I wasn't there.

Very nice long exposure. The clue is that the rocks are a bit blue. Worth a tweak of color temp.

I am leaning towards feeling that the mist was overdone. The sense of motion is lost in the blur.

Hi Artie
I too think the sense of motion is a little lost in the extended exposure of this shot.. My fav long shutter shots of the sea show a wave curling or spray flying, ie the shutter is still short enough to retain the dynamic elements. I think thats lost here, but we have the mist thats telling me there was motion. and Yes the blue is a bit bright but that does not bother me much...Its an image I would like to flip left for right, just to see...

Hi Arthur, I love long exposures such as this where the water is blurred into a ghostly appearance along rugged shorelines. I have not tried the Singh-Ray 10-Stop ND but do have the B&W 10-Stop ND Filter. The rocks in the seascape are arranged nicely throughout the composition, but I think the blue needs to be dialed back a tad...not much, just a smidge, as it is reflecting the clear blue sky, thus it should be blue. I could see this as a B&W conversion as well :)
