This is an interesting composition Michael. I keep staring at it & wondering what oculd be done about the sky? It alsmost appears as though there is an undeveloped strip of film at the top of this image. I find it distracting. The rest of the shot is great. The water is so blue and the different colors of the rocks are fascinating. I like that you included all of the fir tree in the image. It adds scale as well as a touch of class :). I think it is the very blue water that jsut draws any color that might be int he sky right out of it. Maybe someone else will have an idea. Thanks for sharing this pretty scenery with us. :~)

It's a beautiful shot, and perfectly composed. I think the seagull and the tree make it look so great, and I don't mind the strip of the sky, it looks natural, I think.High marks from me.
Happy New Year!
