I cropped the image but didn't have to adjust anything else. This is where the Pacific Ocean meets the coast on Dallas Road in Victoria, British Columbia.

It's a beautiful photograph.. I would like to learn how you post-processed this one. The polished rocks are sharp until I look closely at them... This photograph very much resembles the qualities of a painting to me. Excellently done. 9
If the brown stone wasn't there I'd like this picture, I'm glad it is as it really adds to the scene, lovely shot. Not exactly a technical comment but this picture sends my mind driffting, rather than see the textures I can feel them.
Like the idea, as suggested by your title, of a created texture - the look of that blurred water, as opposed to the reality of it. Combines well with the hard stoniness you've captured in the stones. Has a magic, fantasy landscape feel. Would like a touch more depth to it, maybe - something to hold the eye, which is lacking here - you let the gaze wander out of frame too easily with this.
Wow - definitely a difficult shot to pull off - I would have like to have seen the rocks of the foreground to be more in focus and the colors of the rocks to be more vivid.....7
