greetings from the Critique Club

You have a lovely image here, quite nicely balanced between land and sea. Serene. Since this was advanced editing, I'd suggest emphasizing the color of the ocean a bit, perhaps with a little burning in. The rocks are perhaps just a little dark, and that's where just a touch of dodging on some of the surfaces might come in handy.

The serenity of this image works two ways. It makes it a very nice image to look at, but it doesn't have that all important "wow" factor that DPC voters like to see.

All in all, a very nice image and one that I'm delighted to have had the chance to examine more closely.

Color looks a little washed out.
