I like how the waves are breaking on the concrete forms. The green algae growing on some of them is somewhat distracting. Beautiful blue sky.

nice job, It makes me wonder what it would look like zoomed into the action just a bit more might be a bit more powerful. great color, focus and stop action.

Good capture but IMO it would be better to crop a bit from the sky.
Also it would be nice to see a bit more of the sea at the right side.

A wonderful capture. Its a bit noisy in the sky area... always check your blues, as they usually contain the most noise information.
