I can recognize your pics Steve just from the unique color of the sunset; certainly due to the "numerous filters" you have used;
what I mostly like in this pic is the capture of the water splash at the bottom;

    Thanks a lot Fred for your very Generous review. Yes I like to play with the sunsets to set a certain mood. As always I have to use burst mode on my phone to capture the splashes and foam.

Love it when the sea forms so much froth and this is a great image showing the abstract creation in foreground. Perfectly composed with wonderful lighting and color. Texture is shown with clarity. Nice job Steve

So creative and creative presentation of this ocean scenery.
The sky with the glowing sunset, splashing water and boulders on the shores are so nicely placed within the frame.
Steve, exiting use of mixed media and getting this beautiful photograph.

I can't find anything negative to say about this photo Steve. It is just beautiful, and with such a strong visual impact. The sunset is indeed out of this world with the strong and warm colors, and the splashing water is so well captured. You have also brought out so well the fine textures of the rocks.

The photo is also very sharp with such clear and well defined details to be seen all through, and the exposure is spot on. The colors are crisp and clear.

The format and framing is perfect, and your vantage point could not have been better. It is a very good balance in the composition. I think I look at this forever. This is a truly beautiful and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Just so you know, I would have given this photo 6 stars if I had any left.

    Thank you so much Annie. As has been the case in the past, your review is superior to the photo. Your detailed and artistic commentary as well as your compositional expertise has taught me Many things. I have learned much from your commentaries, which if the truth be told, should be the recipients of the six star award.

    Thank you Anne ~ Steve

Wow Steve! There is so much detail to be seen here ! What an amazing scene! I am so impressed by the way you have stopped the motion in the white frothy splashes with such perfect timing to capture them as they are moving upward! The large rocks provide a perfect canvas to showcase the splashes . I like also that bit of golden light right in the foreground .the surface of the water is full of action too !
Moving out I see the sun is just about to set , it's perfectly placed to the left of center and look at that vivid orange glow surrounding it ! The clouds on the right led the eye to the sun. The clouds up in the sky tell a story of their own in the interesting patterns they create.
This is well captured with spot in focus, this image is clear, exposure is perfect, all colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed with such good depth. Well presented! This is truly a pleasure to view!

Wow Steve! Gorgeous imaginary seascape created here with the dramatic sky overlooking the turbulent sea and the menacing boulders and rocks in the foreground with the foam dancing up. Very creative. Very imaginative. Suzanne
