thanks designdog. I tuned the others down a bit, I think they are better now.
I use the 85 as a landscape lens quite a lot. When I just like to take two lenses,
I take the 85 and the 28 or the 25/2.8. Lightest set for a short and a long lens.
Set on 5.6 and it is trouble free :-)
I could have spent whole holiday week in these cliffs... But this day was special since there was storm on previous day and waves were really big. I have always lived "inland", for me 1 meter wave is huge - these were 7-10m waves.
Always when I shoot stormy sea I can't figure out do I like more "the wave hitting rocks" or "wave going back to sea and water dripping and seabed shown which normally isn't visible". As a result I shoot like hell. On 6th Nov (the day these were shoot) I took over 1200 frames (no HDR, no panoramas) to find the best waves. And now I struggle in computer to go through those 1200 frames...

Samuli- From those shots of waves, I like the #4 the most. One with water receding, and rock emerging with drape of water all around the rock. BIg splash is ok, but pull of the waves look much more interesting from your shots.
user222 - Love the space captured in the foliage shot on page 920.
- yours is better!)
