I guess I dont know how to make it bigger. I have tried and it is either to blurry or to pixeled.

What do I think? I think I want to go there!!!

Is there something specific about the image you were asking for feedback on? Like you removed stuff and want to know if we can see it?

I like it, i really like that you can see the town on the coast, like we're at the gate looking in. Very nice!

No, In general I want to get an idea of your thoughts of the photo. Im always very critical of my photos and want to learn if someone would do something different. The angle was not a choice I was on a boat moving forward. I guess the only thing I could control is the colors, cropping and removal of a few distant birds that looked like dust on the lens.

Love the way the textures of the rock stand out. The colors look true to life.

Overall I love the contrast and colors. Those rocks are begging to be touched.

My only suggestion would have been to add something in the foreground. You've got your mid and background covered, but something to anchor the foreground would have been nice, such as the bow or what not.

Other than that a very nice shot.

I wonder what the rock on the left looked like up higher? I might have tried for less ocean and more rock as the subject with the "mouse hole" and center gap showing the town in the back. But I don't know if that would have even been possible.

In post, I may try to dodge the buildings a bit, just a bit, brightening them to draw the eye. And that is the fun here, because you can play and if you don't like it, do it again. That is also more "artistic" than photojournalistic. It depends too, on what you want.

Thanks for the ideas Andy. I will have to go back and see what I cropped out on the rocks. I was on a boat and it was the roughest day of the week... I was shooting like crazy trying to get shots and this is on of the few that turned out nice enough to work with. It was a great trip though.
