From a few weeks ago on a trip to West Wales, an evening visit to Tenby.

Comments welcome.

Lovely light. I'd have liked to see that foreground rock a bit brighter. A bit of a dodge would do the trick.
You could maybe crop out or clone that bright spot in the sky as well.

This is a really cool scene and I love that you captured the reflections of the buildings in the beach. The foreground rock adds interest but as MA points out it could be a tad brighter. The thing that I notice is that it feels a little off balance to me. A few steps to the left and a turn to the right might made the difference. It feels like my eye falls off the end of the earth as I follow the line of buildings across the horizon and out into the void. I brightened up the foreground rock and cropped slightly differently. This is my interpretation...YMMV

Sorry Iggy but I thimk I prefer the original better. I think the picture should have more of a landscape orientation, your crop makes it more square. I really love the light in that picture.

I agree also. The original comp is much better imho ... the complete foreground rock is integral to the photo I beleive

I just think you could use a bit more details in the clouds and maybe a tad darker through the middle. Not enough depth to the colour on the houses. Just appear somewhat washed out.

No worries. I really like the rock too.. just trying to think outside the box

Lovely scene! I quite like the original crop but i agree that dodging the front rock a tad would be a plus.
Even though it's already quite bright - I think a bit more contrast play (5-10%) could make this sing just a touch louder.
