this foreground is a bit dark, which is a shame about the background - don't you think so?

Thanks for your thoughts. Part of me agrees, it does look unnaturally dark for a daytime photo, but part of me thinks that when I look at the distant rock, almost directly in line with the sun, the visual effect is right. I'll try messing with it some more. I'm also looking forward to trying a print (I'm not yet set up). I'll also mention that I have calibrated my monitor, what we see may be slightly different. It's a tough situation to try to keep the sparkliness (hey, I invented a word!).

Update: I've tried bringing out some more of the foreground, but it also makes the rock gray, and the ocean can't help but be lightened a little, all of which weakens the graphic impact. I will be interested in seeing how it looks printed, it may be able to withstand some lightening of the foreground. The best thing would have been to have a big reflector or gentle softbox to put some light on the branches, while there.

for me it is simply too many branches - it destroys ....


maybe you could have taken a different perspective?
if you omitted half of the lower photo area, you would get calm in the photo and the concentration is on the glittering horizon (although the horizon is not straight ...)

I tried cropping like you suggested, it does make a nice view as you can see, I'm not sure that it is "better" as it removes a feeling of distance across the sea. Oh, and BTW the horizon is level, it's an optical illusion that it is not! I know because I originally rotated it 0.7° CW in Photoshop and checked it with a guide. Anyway, I like the crop enough to post it for others to experience. If I was printing it large I think I might prefer the crop, if printing 13x19" or smaller, the original is still my choice. Thanks for the input!
