Seascape Stormy sea

[RogerSmith]

trying something different, I'm just not very good at landscapes. Storm churned up the Pacific off La Jolla, San Diego CA

Hi Roger, I too struggle to see landscapes the way some others manage to. In the spirit of constructive criticism, I'd lose the strip of sky at the top and maybe even crop tight in on the rock. The flow of water over that is beautiful. Just my thoughts.

Agreed! thanks Dave

The second one is better but I'd like to see it the other way, with more sky. Maybe about 1/3 of the way down the frame.

The second photo is less of a seascape and more a photo of water washing over rocks. Nice image, but was that the intent?

yeah thats the right question. The rock / water was the intent and subject, so I should have focused on that. Image 1 was full frame, so no more sky to be had

That was my thought too. The tiny strip of sky looks like a mistake!

Or, indeed, just cut the sky. The just-rock-and-water one does look good.
