Hello from the Critique Club,

Wow, 22nd place out of 600+ entries and a 6.68 score. Being just a registered member I couldn't vote on this challenge but after reviewing the results, your image is a good as any of those in the top ten. Looking at your profile, I expect to see a ribbon on your page in the very near future.

This image suits my personal preference well, as I'm not a big fan of the hyper saturated look. About the only suggestion I could make for improvement would be to clone out or burn the bright spot on the rock along the bottom edge. My eyes were initially drawn there instead of to the wonderful birds sitting on the rocks.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Critique Club Review:

Wow! What a picture!

Focus, and depth of field are excellent.

Color, saturation, hue, brightness and contrast are great.

Lighting is very well done.

Horizon is nice and level if a bit centered. i would like to have seen more ocean, or even some beach, and a little less sky. The clouds look very good, but I would sacrifice some of them first. Cropping say just above the bright cloud that is a bit separate from the others on the right. That's just a very minor point, as this is an excellent photo. One that I could look at on my wall daily and never tire of the scene.

Congratulations on a well deserved top five finish.
