    (Thanks for the Add comment tip – I never knew that was there – Means i’m going to type more below as I hate scrolling up and down!)

    Where to start? The initial instant draw is the gorgeous pinky orange in the sky that is reflecting perfectly on both the sea and the rocks. This then draws you in with the water into what looks like a natural pool.

    The boulders on the middle left hold the shot up well and the tones on the foreground are incredible. I’ve no idea how you manage to get them to look that good

    I’m glad you couldn’t resist uploading a seascape any longer. They are hard to miss here.
    This is to your usual high standards, beautiful exposure of the water, excellently composed and stunning colours.

    Beautiful piece Mel, wonderful colour contrast between the rocky plateau and the misty water, ...and the colour in the clouds just finishes it nicely. The composition is great with the wave action happening right in the sweet spot of the frame. Lovely!
