    Hi Neil

    Stunning scene. When I first saw it I the feeling of the water running over my feet, and enjoy this beautiful scene.

    The contrast in the picture is great. The colors is well saturated without being to much. But the what really makes this picture for me is the water. Because you haven't made it all "silky" or "frozen" the water, it create this this special, adventurous mood. Im amazed, well done

    Beautiful colours. In some ways, it's a strange composition. I gives the immediate impression of a slanting horizon from left to right but it's just the slope of the beach and the cliffs as I realised once I spotted the horizon far right.

    Great capture Neil.

    You have maintained good movement in the interesting water without allowing it to dominate the scene. It's also good that the scene has not been overcooked in PP.

    I love this image but, think that a slight addition in structure might add to an already beautiful image.

    Love the colours and the mood of this image. Also, as others have stated, the water is perfect.

    I like the composition, Neil, I find several elements of interest - waves rocks, mountains, sky. No one seems to dominate but they all work well together.

    Good control of all the aspects. I would have been tempted to over dramatise the scene. I think that would have been wrong. Good shot.
    Cheers Ole
