This is my first port in the critique section. I want your honest opinion.
The photo was taken with a 20D on a tripod using long shutter speed.
The location is in the west coast of Zakynthos island (Greece) called Roxa.
The image is processed from a Raw file and then converted to sRGB.

First post here, fist comment, so, very nice composition, maybe could be a tad sharper, and the white in the water in places as blown out, detail gone, now if it where mine i would open the raw file again, set the exposure for the water, the picture will look a bit dark but open in PS and bring back that shadow detail with dodging, then it will much much better, thats only my opinion some may like the photo as it is, hopfully we will see :-)

Welcome to the Critique Forum.
What were you trying to achieve?
All the detail in the water seems to have been blurred away with the long shutter speed!
I like the pink rocks against the blue of the ocean and the angle that you have composed the shot but would like to see something else, such as a wave crashing against the rocks...
Just my thoughts.
Cheers

I appreciate both comments very much.
I'll look into it again and see what correction I can do.
I wanted to achieve the effect of blurred water and hence all the detail in the water is obviously lost.
But I agree that may be a little overblown
Thank you much
