    Hey Santanu,
    The colors here appear to be a bit over the top.....and I'm sure Jay will like them as do I.....but very similar to his Moeraki boulders post here: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...read.php/86603
    You are getting color banding.....so you may want to read through the thread to get some ideas on taming it. The strong colors wont appeal to everyone though.....so just keep that in mind when processing.

    I like the comp as presented.....but I do hope you also took a few steps either left or right....to get more sepration between the pilings. I think this has an interesting look to it.....but tweaking it just a bit to tame some of the colors and banding .....will definitely take it up a notch.

    Hi Santanu, good comments above. Even though the colors are intense IMO I feel that they add to the images beauty. I looked at a small top crop but decided to leave it as is. If this were mine I might lighten the foreground rocks(mostly on the left) a small amount careful not to look forced...

    The colors are over the top, but really nice.
    I would lighten the foreground.
    A very interesting photo.
