Nice composition. Seems a little dark and contrasty along the shoreline. Did you play with it in PS or something similar?   Posted: 01/04/2021 00:20:20

Nice image, I like the subject matter very much. I agree with Bob, I think the shadows could be lightened up somewhat. The sky is good looking and I like the nice curving flow of the shoreline. I think the two people on the road add some perspective to the image but I also find them distracting my eye away from what I think is the main subject, the coastline and the distant cliff.   Posted: 01/07/2021 16:09:20

Bob & Lou, I agree with both of your comments regarding the shot being a bit dark for most people's likes. My images do tend to be high contrast, and more saturated than most. In hindsight, this image could have been brightened.

And of course I did work the mage in Photoshop. I purposely did not reveal I had used Photoshop's new Replace Sky command, not to fool or mislead anyone. I wanted to see just how obvious the replacement was.

Also, I am the front person in the photo.
