No it was full moon this night that lit up the rocks. Thanks for the comment:)

Gives me a real sense of sitting peacefully on a beach for hours, doing nothing more than watching the slow motion of the stars and listening to the regular sounds of the waves coming and going. So peaceful.

Very nice and full of drama from the rocks but serenity from the water.

Thanks a lot Lorie for your good and helpful critique, I think I agree with everything you say.
All the best, Bragi (Brin)

Challenge:
n/a

Artistic/Emotion:

emotionally, after I realize the whole scene I'd love to go for a walk on the beach

I think the area on the lower right is distracting - the rest of the image is dreamy!

Not bad, however to dark for a photo of this kind? I wonder if you zoom in to that horizon how it would be... hmm... 5
