Last minute submission, wanted to enter Hair first but saw the sky on the last day of the challenge and figured i HAD to shoot it. I know it might be considered a seascape/cloudscape by some but i like it.
Messed around with the color saturation in Lightroom and then in PS i burned some, lightened some parts, and cloned some minor details out.
Hope you all like it!

Good colour in the background. The fuzziness of the background does draw my attention to the foreground, but I don't know which one is "the" rock; I count at least 8. Perhaps if they didn't overlap, it would have been a bit better. Ideally, there would have been only one. Despite this, your placement of the rock (the pointy one, which is the one I assume you're concentrating on) is good.
I like the rocks close up, adds good foreground interest. Seems to be a bit out of focus off in the distance, maybe a higher f/stop? Great colors throughout, good mix of pink/blue.
Well the lack of focus on the backround isn´t really appealing to me and also that blown sky is a shame, especially since it´s an expert editing challenge and you could have taken a separate shot for the sky and fixed it in post processing.
The actual landscapoe part is underexposed and that bit of blown out sky uis distracting. Compositionally this is excellent though and if you live nearby definitely get a few more shots.
The effect on the sky is that of too much neat image (not just blurred, but kind of glassy and with some fringing around the structure on the middle right). But the colors are great and I like the roughness of the water.
Ik heb al zo'n idee van wie deze zou kunnen zijn. :)
Ha, mijn geboorteplaats, de plek waar ik 10 jaar gewoond heb en bijna wekelijks kom: Hoorn. :) Ik weet nog van de periode dat op de plek van de schouwburg een zwembad was en dat we via het IJsselmeer stiekem naar binnen glipten. De tijd dat we straalbezopen hier in het water sprongen om uh, effe bij te komen en zo. Nou is die nieuwe schouwburg niet verkeerd, heb er al wat gezien, goed.
Owkee, over de foto. Ik zie dat de focus op de steen is, maar daardoor is er zoveel buiten het scherpteveld dat uit focus is. Doordat die lucht zo licht is en de steen in de schaduw zit, eist die lucht de aandacht op en dat benadrukt het uit focus zijn. Dus die steen moet meer licht hebben of de hele scene moet meer scherptediepte hebben (niks moet natuurlijk) of allebei. Zou wat mij betreft iets beter werken.
I wish this had a greater depth of field. Well, I don't know. The clouds look quite nice blurred and almost abstract. Good colors. I just can't make up my mind today! :)
