Beautiful - congrats on the personal best, an excellent finish in a free study, and I love that it's unedited - what a gorgeous moment in time to capture.

I almost want to say its too dark...but I still really really like it. It makes it feel like its a place with beautiful scenery, but also quite frightening. (8)

Great composition, colour and setting. Needs more exposure in the blacks though as there is no details in them at all and the sea is underexposed.

I still love to see beautiful sunsets and sunrises and this is one of them. The contrast is just right, my eyes went directly to the sky because of the dark almost silhouetted landscape.

Nicely done Brandon. I really like the shapes of the rocks and the colors on the water.

i feel like you almost got what you pictured in your head, but not spot on. either you wanted to show 'look at that tiny dock at the bottom of this cliff being pummled by the waves' (zooming way out and showing more) or 'look at this old dock' (climbing down the cliff and getting a more extreme angle going out into the ocean).

never the less it a beautiful shot, i really like the ocean.

horaay cesna! this is the plane my dad and i used to fly when i was a kid (he has an inner-ear disease now, sometimes its hard for him to keep the sunny side up so he cant pass his medical)

Nice bw convertion, contrast/focus/ exposure look good. would like to have either seen a more extreme angle or the entire aircraft. awesome capture nevertheless.
