Great work Jake. All your seascapes are well executed and, in my opinion, mostly under rated. It's hard to say if the flash contributes or not as it adds an interesting twist although I think this image would have been better without it as there's plenty of bright water action in the foreground.

Thanks all, for taking the time to comment and offering such constructive critique. The bright foreground isn't the result of flash but a combination of 4 stops of GND and artifical lighting from a walking path behind. My natural tendancy is to lean toward the hyperreal side of things so I didn't mind the effect at the time but in hindsight I think it is a little distracting and disrupts the tonal harmony of the scene. I will try and tone this one down a little before printing and maybe look into Singh Ray reversed grads for this type of scene? I also agree with Bryan in regards to the cropped feeling of the lefthand side, I was conscious of this at the time of shooting but felt it was the best I could do with the FOV I had on hand, I'm slowly saving for a Sigma 10-20 or Canon 10-22 which I feel will give me some more dynamic composition options. Thanks again for stopping by and commenting, means much more than ratings and if I had a little more time on my hands I would be returning the favour more often. Kind Regards, Jake.

To me this is a photo of perfection, and my favourite in your portfolio (though any could be it if this one wasn't shown!). The modern buildings on the horizon are a bit of a sore spot though for me in the overall feeling of the photo, but I guess they can't be helped, maybe PS on a roof at least!
