Congratulations on this its really stunning :) I really like the cascading water on the rocks gives the photo a great feel. And the waves in the foreground are a winner too.
Such a difficult shot to expose correctly. Did you shoot RAW? If possible I would have shot raw and bracketed the shots to try and get all the dynamic range. This looks like a HDR?
Personally Id much prefer it processed so the colours look more natural. But a lovely shot and post processing, well done
This is really beautiful John, the Heron really makes the shot for me. The conditions are very atmospheric but the Heron really adds a focal point for the wandering eye, congrats on getting up so early and getting this one.
