One more tonight for everyone to C&C. This is heavily cropped from the original, I should have tightened up the shot while composing. Did I crop it properly? Is there enough of interest in the picture?
Canon 1DSII, 16-35L lens, ISO 100, Av f/11, Tv .6 seconds, focal length 27mm.
Levels tweaked, very slight blue saturation bump, USM of 80, 1, 0. That's about it.
More from Pacific Grove. It was foggy and very dull today causing the ocean color to gradate from muted blue to gunmetal gray. I've seen the ocean in innumerable hues of gray and blue depending on light so that each day you can shoot the ocean at the very same spot and get different colors.
Had you not titled it I'd have thought that was a bit of snow or frost on the rocks
To me, it seems very 'centered' and I want to try the rocks in either 1/3rd but don't know what else is in the original that you will have to contend with.
I like the contrast between the soft sea and the rocks, nice tone overall. I would though, clone out the rock on the top left edge - as it distracts the eye.
For me, there just isn't anything interesting about these rocks....Maybe if you had taken a lower view through the rocks ?, maybe turn it into a high contrast B&W ? but as it stands it's just a centered picture of rocks you could find anywhere......
