Very cool, no pun intended. The diagonals of the rock out of the water and their reflections create an interesting effect, leading your eyes into a sort of invisible horizon in the water on the left. The stillness of the water is great; I love reflection shots like this.

Where does the rock at the bottom of the frame come from? Is that a reflection of rock that isn't in the frame, or is it underwater? Can't quite figure it out.

p.s. For the record, excellent JPEG.

Great color/graphic photo!! The sharp angles contrast with the rushing sea. Also the quiet waters in the front contrast with the waves. The dark colors vs. white water.

Well so much for my success at communication in this photo! This image was shot up high, above tree line. The upper white stuff are not waves but a snow field. The rocks at the very bottom of the image are scree that intercept the snow field up out of the upper part of the image. This was one of those scenes that you look at and say "there is a picture here". The contrast was very high. I was very excited at the time but I was not satisfied at my attempt to capture the feel. Oh well...

I don't think it's as bad as you think. I'm all for self-criticism -- that's my main route to improvement as a photographer -- but I think it's a good photo, and the contrast was captured just fine. [I knew it was a snow field, by the way; I just wasn't sure how the scree came into the picture.]
