Silence before the storm

I didn't adjust the horizon line because I see that the process of

straightening the horizon changes seriously the overall sharpness of

the photo, especially if you print them.

Beautiful colours and composition. Well done.

Wonderfull:)

Kani, straightening the horizon line should not affect sharpness at all (at least it never has for me, and I've had some that required a lot of straightening).  This is a very nice photo.  I find the immediate foreground to be distracting simply because it appears to be so OOF; that's either because it is out of focus or it's due to it's being under water (although I suspect the former).  However, it hurts too much for me to suggest cropping, because I know that was an important part of your composition.  Any way to try again with a greater DOF, or is the lack of sharpness due entirely to it being under water?

Interesting FG element here.  Stephen - Since the LOF seems pretty uniform in the rocks underwater, and the far focus looks OK, I thinks it may be due to a longish exposure and moving water over the rocks.  The above water rocks very sharp to me, so I would expect the focus of the rocks to drop off gradually if it was a DOF issue.  The curve of the rock point nicely to the mnt and sun.

Harry, I saw the very sharp white on the rock as well, but didn't think about water movement.  I think you're right.

This is a beautiful shot, the sky is very dramatic and I like it. Congrats.

Stephen and Harry your feedback are very important because at first sight I thought like Stephen about the foreground OOF, then I thought about the shutter speed like Harry said, this is the kind of comments I like read.

Hi Stephen and Harry, The rock with white colour is like an iceberg. the others are already and always underwater. I did capture them thanks to polarizer filter and calm weather. Although the clouds show a stormy weather, it was very quite on that moment. They look  like out of focus because the water moves... By the way, I did have f/22 to get 13 sec of exposure. The white rock was about 4 meters from me and I did focus the half way. Even f/11 was ok but I would like to make the exposure longer to be able to flatten the surface of the sea. That was all. But, thank you for your attention...

Nice composition (7/7)

Best regards

So much been said here and this remarkably exposed sea scape well worth it all, I like the DOF which is so effective and obtained very impressive details all over the place while the effect of the slow shutter speed on the water is a great add to the quality of this capture and enhancing its composition.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

simply perfect /7/

Thank you for your time to look and add your thoughts. I appreciate them all...
