Very subtle expression of power... As far as the water goes, you have to wait a some years before its power over the rocks becomes apparent. The dark sky appears to hold more power at this very instant.
Good choice of shutter speed on the waves, nice colors, and good processing. Would have wished to see a bit more in the field of view. Medium score from me, as I feel it does not fully express the challenge.
Very nice, I like the long exposure time here, I think it did add to the conveyance of power by the moving water (when ordinarily it does the opposite !!)
