A very nice presentation of sun, sea and waves. Lots of atmosphere. Has a romantic touch. The colours are vibrant and interesting. Good timing to capture perfectly the breaking wave.

Gorgeous photograph of this sunset. I like how the sun is peaking through the clouds, which reflects on the water. Nicely composed. Sharp detail. Well done.

Beautiful picture I like the red/orange highlights. The rays of light peaking through the dark clouds and the white waves crashing on the rocks makes a great photo!

I think this posted twice.. but I will give you a review on each.. too many wonderful things about it to just post it once :)

BFF, such beauty and that sunshine looks as if God is looking down on your and your soul.

I love the ocean and wish I could spend more time surrounded by it.

Great work BFF.

It looks like you have posted two identical photos, so I will just review one of them. I bet you were waiting for while to get a foreground wave to reach for the sun like this. The reflection from the setting sun is well captured, and is stopping right in front of the wave. It is also a nice shine in the sea, and the sky looks great.

The crushing wave is standing out sharp and well defined , and I like the way the rays from the sun is shining through it. The exposure is perfect.

The format and framing is working well, and with the sun and the wave off to the left, it is a fine balance in the composition. A truly lovely and well taken photo Steve, and with an excellent DOF.

    Thank you Annie. I just watched where the waves were breaking making the best splash. Then I just waited and watched the waves come. Impossible to catch something like this so I use burst on the iPhone and hope to get a good one. This is one of probably 100 photos. Thank you again Annie ~ Steve

This is a special capture. How the sun emerges beneath and illuminates the dark clouds above is impressive. The light shining through the foam is superb. The reflections at the ocean are enthralling. Your photo is excellently focused and exposed and has impressive depth. The mixed media is carefully applied and adequate. The square format is sufficient. The splash is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Steve,
A very beautiful and atmospheric sunset over the sea. The sun's disc glowing through a gap in the clouds above the horizon sending a sunbeam across the sea to back light the spray thrown up as a wave in the foreground crashes onto the rocks along the tide line the sun's glow in the sky adds an orange glow to it's reflections on the sea below. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
