Taken in Lynouth last year at the end of a charity walk

I'm interested to see what people think of the sky with this one, is it balanced with the sea or off slightly?

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Florence from Paris, France

Nice colors Dave, almost surreal...

@Florence: Thanks Florence

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Very, very surreal, what did you do, I love it but what did you do, the slight mauvish/pinkish tint seemed like wonderland to me and then the shore in the distance, green - which by right should look normal - looked totally fictional lol that's incredible, what did you do?

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine, a combination of curve layers and some channel mixer layers as well as a bit of an experimentation!

Hi Dave, I'm looking at a purple/green image which is very unreal, it's a bit different...! I scrolled down to the point where the green wasn't visible, I thought it was better without the green, personal pref...!

@Observing: Thanks for the feedback Mike

JJ from Jersey City, United States

the colors are surreal indeed, the green layer just doesnt seem to work for me to be honest, I agree with Observings suggestion

I believe that the sky is in absolute balance with the sea! Nice image.

Have to go with Observing and JJ's comments on the green. I really like the foreground and think cropping at horizon would make a great shot.

I think that I'd crop the the horizon too, but I do like the colour combination, a wonderfully sureal feel to this shot Dave.

@MaryB: Thanks Mary, seems to be the general concensus! :)

The excitement is in the foreground. The green is a distraction. Overall I like the photograph.
