Hello from ...just me.

I personally find this to be an awesome shot. I love the muted colors in both the sky and water. BY using a slow shutter speed, you have effectively use not only the rocks, but also the water to draw my eyes out towards the ships on the horizon. A very good use of the rule of thirds here too.
I gave this shot a 10 during voting, and feel it placed much too low.

Hello from critique club :)

Hi there. It is always nice to critique a Pro ;) I checked your site, I probably did many times before, you do have tons for good work there. Here I think you did try something new. This is a mixed photo of two. One that got you better scores, the bottom of the photo and the top portion of the photo, which might gave you some bad scores.Why is that?

First of, whoever gave you 1 is a jerk. Totally troll, and don't worry about it. Your better portion of the photo has a very nice color scheme, shades of blue. Exposure is very nicely done to get that kind of feeling from a sea. If you had only that portion with a half naked woman sitting or standing top of those rocks... well, enough said I guess.

The top portion, I think I have seen this about everywhere... Not much going on, jut to give some extra colors to this photo, I think it's ok for some.

Composition is very good. 2/3 is the sea and the rocks, the main attraction, and the rest to give some flavor.

Well done. If I did vote, which I didn't, I would give you 6 or 7 for this photo.

Please do keep up the good work. Trying new things always good, you should check the voters, and other people what they think about the new ideas such as this one.

Have seen similar photos before, but this is well done. Composition is strong, lighting is strong. Thanks.

I love the ships along the horizon. This has such depth to it and such a mysterious edge to it, I enjoy it a lot.

The water is a bit more interesting than the sky to me.6

Good job! A tighter crop would have been a little better in my view, to bring the rocks more at the forefront.

Lovely misty sea, I like the rocks poking through. Clouds are nice in this as well.

I love the soft colours in this, and the motion of the water.
