Boy have you come a long way from just taking photos, well in between fighting gorillas and alligators of course LOL, but have to admit this one took them all and stand out higher and above them all. The added plus of the star is brilliant..(Bet you haven't been called then much = huh LOL.}. But in this case I would have to use that word.. BRILLIANT MOVE!
I haven't painted in a long time but this piece just inspired me, do you mind if I give it a try? This is beautiful!
Well done again my friend and as MK flood always says at the end of his reviews, I'ill steal it from him

clapping here so take a bow!
Your friend
Diane

    LOL. You are the BEST. I think I wrote your email down (diane45130@gmail.com). Is that right? If so watch your email for a copy you can work from. The "Super Gorilla / Alligator Hero wants to see what you got girl! ~ Steve

Wow! This is stunning and I really like how you changed this to a night scene. I am not sure your star like object is believable but it sure makes for a beautiful scene! Very dramatic beautiful capture of the waves. Your photo is nice and sharp especially the textures seen in the rock. Well taken photo! Well done! Thanks for sharing!

    Oh my. Thank you so much stringbean. Yes the star like object is a bit out of place. I thought it might add an element to the scene. Oh well, live and learn ; ). I am very pleased that you like this and that it gave you a pleasure that 'Reminded' you of your Gifted 'Insight'. Thank you so very much again for your more than kind comments and rating ~ Steve

A beautiful capture Steve. Your use of lights and darks here is so stunning.

Incredible! This was taken with an Iphone? (I read your profile page). This is an exquisite piece that demands applause. Seriously, the texture in the rocks and detail in the waves, the contrast between night and illuminated waters. Simply stunning - makes me wonder if I've wasted money on my equipment. LOL. Also - Thank you for your service :-) my son served 6 years in the Air Force.

    First and Foremost Kathy...My Total Respect and Admiration for your son and his service. I Salute him.
    Thank you for your More than kind words. Yes this was taken with my iPhone5. I did make some major changes which I am slowly learning to do. LOL...And 'No' you did not waste you money on equipment. I have seen your work and you have the 'Feel' and the 'Eye' for seeing that which not all are blessed to see. That gift alone more than makes up for any and all equipment. Personally I am always looking forward to your fabulous posts. Thank you so very much again for your comments and rating Kathy ~ Steve

This looks "other worldly" to me like maybe a beach on Mars. I love it!!!! I really love the lighting and colors here and the cropping was perfect and wonderful to look at.

Actually, even without that hazy light rays, this is already an excellent modification with light source emanating from the right frame.
Fine textures in superb clarity!
Perfect timing for these waves romancing the boulders without enveloping them! LoL!
Nice soft shades.
Well leveled horizon on the Third Grid Line.
Thanks!

fantastic adjustments made to produce this awesome piece...The clarity, the sharpness and the structure of this image is stunning and the balance between the sky,the sea and the rocks is gorgeous. It is one of the better seascape pics i have come across and it caught my eye immediately..a six from me my friend and i may have to try making similar adjustments myself to certain pictures of similar structure...thank you

This is stunning Steve...wow....really do appreciate the notes telling us what you've done to this photo.

Don't know what this looked like as a daytime shot...lol...actually don't care b/c it is a fabulous night scene. The crashing waves are perfect. The texture of that front rock is outstanding and highlighting has made it even more so. Your 'star-like object' as you call it is not over done and appears to be hitting everything in just the right places.

Do not usually give sixes to photos w/ so much processing but there's something about this shot I really like AND your post processing skills have improved so dramatically I think that alone deserves a pat on the shoulder.

Really well done Steve.

Deborah
