Thanks, I'm fortunate to be only a couple of hours away so I can go on the positive forecast days. On days like that I could just sit up there all day!

I wanted to stick around on the top for the actual sunset but I still had 2hrs return to the car to complete down a route I hadn't done before but hopefully next time I can hang around now I know the terrain. It was still dark when I reached the bottom!

Too much PP?

PP is all a personal preference really, I prefer a pretty minimal approach and natural looking images letting nature do the work, others liked extreme digital art.

My critique would be that a lot of the image is just washed out with no detail, I don't like that in landscape work, also tends to give it a very artificial digital feel since in film you would get more details in the highlights.

My biggest issue is the composition. There is a lot to look at but no obvious guidance, balance or structure. Some strong leading lines, or geometric balance would help. The very wonky horizon makes it very uneasy to look at at, not sure why that wasn't corrected if you did a lot of PP work.


The PP of the water gives a nice hazy dreamy effect, better than average, but the whole long exposure sea scape with rocks thing is pretty old y now IMO.
