Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hi! This is a wonderful shot and a good subject for the challenge. What jumps out at me as possible flaws are lighting and shadows.

The glare on the top left part of the circle behind the cross is very distracting. Not sure if that is a spot light or flash glare but it really hurt the shot to me. Also all the shadows, it adds too much to the shot, it becomes confusing and distracting. I do like the angle of the shot and the conversion to black and white works very well with this shot. Just a touch more contrast could really make this shot pop.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all for your comments and votes. I am quiet happy with the 4th place finish, the score, the %100 =), and the final image. This is a message of God's glory and love transfered through my camera.

Congrats on your top 5 finish.
Not sure what it is that I sense a bit wrong, perhaps the far rock being a bit too centered for my tastes.
Great tonality & leading lines here!

Well done Thomas, I idn't get time to vote i the challenge but I like to look through the entries afterwards and, as you did with my entry, I recognised that shoreline as your handywork.

Great lead in lines from the waves, Haystack Rock is a bit central, might have been better compositionaly a bit to the right?

Nice cloud detail and misty shoreline, congratulations.
