Hello, Steave & Ioana

I feel that it would be better to catch moment when sun shines on foreground making it more attactive. Though, rigid light could made scene too contrast. So, it should be certain situation based choise.
Also I would prefer more sharp foreground.

Hi Steve and Ionana,

This is gorgeous shot, the earthy colors of the beach and rocks, set against the beautiful sky. The sharpness in the image reveals the texture of the huge rock in the foreground. Nicely composed. There is one slight problem with the axis of the lighthouse. I fear it is tilted 2-3° clockwise. In photoshop you can test it, and if so, rotate in back a incremental angle.
In any case, a very nice photo.
Regards,
Bulent

You definitely have an eye for a good shot and can see the potential in a scene. I like this one and the pov you've chosen with the rock in the foreground.

Well done!

Regards

Robin
