I find the greens and yellows a little over powering on the headland in the backgrounds, I think they need toned down a little. Once toned down I think it’d be a beautiful shot and I love the “differant” composition and it was well timed to get the splash of water too.
Let not agree, because I believe that the color is good, especially at dawn, waiting for such a light that gave an intense color.
I checked the rest of the calibrated Eizo monitor.
I like the colors, totally agree with you Klarens, sometimes you look back at a photograph and you remember the exact setting, in your case the rich colors. Nice splash, for a split second it made me think of taking a step back.
All the action is taking place on the the left hand side ( the breaking wave, portion of the causeway and the hill behind), while there is little on the RHS to catch the viewers eye. For that reason I would suggest that you might crop off the RHS and see what you think. This is just one persons opinion and you are the artist and the work is yours alone.
