I took these photo yesterday evening on my Sony A300. The photo is the result of 3 evenings over at the beach exploring and trying out different ideas and coming out with a result I am pretty happy with.

The only photoshop work done is resizing and the removal of 2 small dust marks.

All feedback and crit is welcome

I love both shots, prefer the second, just because the rocks have more distinct detail, well done with the capture,, look forward to seeing more soon !

Very well taken Matt. My favorite one is the 2nd picture. Partly cause the way the water created a cloudy look. It almost looks like clouds. Keep up the great work buddy.

Best Regards,

Jason :rolleyes:

I agree that second shot is a little better there.
But, I'd recomend you to got back there during a golden hour and take that shot then... Study the light and see when it is best, when it draws enough contrast and plays with the water and sky. So you would be able to get an even better shot:)

Anyway good job
