Very nice! Until I read your comment, I wasn't sure what I was looking at exactly. I was thinking to myself, man, those clouds are really strange looking. :) Interesting POV and lighting, and I like the diagonal line created by the waterfall precipice, and the lines created by the water and the shadows from the water. Well done!

Mike,

This is a spectacular image. Everything about it is perfect: the foreground interest of the lantern and cormorant, the angled lines of the boat, the soft, even lighting, of course the amazing subjects and backdrop. This is the kind of image that inspires me to keep shooting/creating!! :)

This is a wonderful photograph: great composition, timing and exposure. There are many interesting lines, such the diagonal of the crashing wave, the converging lines of the sea wall, and the vertical lines of the person and the structures in the background. Also, adding the human element to the photo works very well here...feels like I'm actually there as I view it. Nicely done!
