Greetings from the critique Club

Oh,what a nice moody image you have here. I love the way you captured the waves crashing against the rocks. And yes, the sea gets us all eventually, doesn't it...

I can see this as a big oil painting, showing the insignificance of man against the sea along with the bleakness of the bluffs on which he stands. But, like a few of the other people who commented on your picture, it would have been nice to see a little more color in the image. Color might have added contrast that makes the isolation stand out even more.

In any event, you have a nice piece here and I enjoyed looking at it.

I see you are in Akureyri! When I visited Iceland a loooong time ago, I was taken with the beauty of your city way up there near the Arctic Circle.

Took me a while to spot the figure, i only kept looking because of the title.
Very striking, but the actual photo is quite flat and doesn't do the subject justice. I think you could have tried to emphasise the figure more with some suggestive dodgin and burning, also i think the whole shot needs a boost in contrast to try and give the waves a more dynamic feel. Nice composition though, with the bowl shape at the bottom of the frame keeping the viewers eyes directed towards the center of the image where the wave then sweeps you towards the person on the edge.
Unfortunately though i think i can only give a 5 because the photo itself doesn't let me go higher i think.

This shot did little for me, until I saw the person on the cliff - for some reason that totally won me over. It softens and makes accessible an otherwise very forbidding coast.

I do think some work with cuves would help to make the colors pop a bit more; it seems almost hazy. But a very nice "man's place in nature" shot.

It's too bad you couldn't have done a little more to bring out the person on top of the cliff. I like the way this image portray's the power of water. Nicely done in that regard. Good luck.
