Critique Ratings

Very nice image and you had me fooled about the size of the rock. You did a great job of getting the perspective. The role of the sun in the image seems to be to complement the rock and not be the subject by itself. That said maybe to frame or crop it a bit tighter to minimize the sun but keep that wonderful light effect across the beach and minimize the flare at the bottom of the image. What I find when photographing a scene with the sun is that a very slight movement left/right/up/down will give a different and even dramatic effect of the rays and the reflections. Also, a polarizing filter will give some interesting effects. I do also notice that the horizon is a bit off. I hope you did not get too wet taking this one but it was probably worth it to get the shot. Regards, Ted
