The tranquil scene of the boats in the sea is overshadowed by the ominous looking clouds above. That's a brilliant move, just making a few minor adjustments in the editor to create that effect. A very foreboding photo, and you picked the right colors for it too, the reds in the clouds and the yellows in the background. Definitely some fantasy elements at play here.

God painted it and you captured it well. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of this colorful SkyView over the water is great. the image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Wow BFF! This is just so amazing! That lowering sky is so ominous and I have to keep looking at it.

The colors are really what makes this piece spectacular and how the light plays in the sky mixed with oceans waves.

So very impressive. Great work BFF. I bow to your expertise. My turn to buy lessons now!

Great depth of field, showing the dramatic and colorful sky, as well as the movement of the tides and ripples of the water. It looks like a painting. Majestic!

Very nice sunset photograph over the ocean in Puerto Vallarta. Natural colors and tones in the scene, good DoF, sharp focus, good composition and well framed. Overall, a Very Beautiful Sunset Photograph, well done!

So beautiful!! The sky looks unreal! I like the way the water captures the colors of the sky. The little wave crashing against the sand is so clear and crisp. The only reason I didn't give you a 6 is due to the grainy look in the sky.

    Thank you very much Mary. I used a paint filter on the sky so it looks like it was painted. I appreciate your review Mary ~ Steve
Comment from supergold


once again, I am not at all familiar with sophisticated mixed media, but the result is fantastic Steve; it looks rather like a painting, particularly the sky;
excellent composition with the crashing wave and the boats in the bg; an obviuos winner of the contest;

Comment from Len Shood


Beautiful colours iPhone and I particularly like the wave breaking at bottom frame and the silhouetted boats on the ocean. Not 100% sure about the sky, the colours are superb, but, did you use a filter of some sort ? Very nice image whatever you did though.

    Thank you Len. Yes I did some after photo work on the sky. I used Photo Shop paint filter to make it look like a painting. Then I used the 'Liquify' filter to make some waves in the clouds. Wanted to kind of match the clouds to the waves in the water. Thank you again Len for your review ~ Steve

A very beautiful seascape shot posted here! Your fine and classical composition grants us an enjoyable look at the lovely sunset taking place before you. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
