And what loverly bokeh!
The DOF makes a dynamic semi-abstract out of this...
Good start.

Something unstoppable set into motion.

The sun provides great lighting on the rocks. I think this is a great landscape photo. I don't think the title works here. I'm assuming you are referring to the sun, but the sun is the last thing I look at. It's not really a focus point on the photo. Even when I do look at it, I'm stil pulled away from it.

Can you get any shallower? Your off to a great start on this side challenge! Love the two tones of color and the light flares off the wet spots.

Gull at Sunset

Comment by littlegett:
One of the better bird images in this challenge. I am very happy to see the detail was left in the feathers and not smoothed over. I also enjoy the contrasts and separation from background. However I do not care for the profile view nor the fact there is no hint, idea, or concept of sunset except for your title. For me it could be any time of day. However Because with this second look I can see how much detail was left I will bump the score a bit.
