This is the first of two seascapes, both of which were taken at the weekend. Of the two I think I probably prefer tomorrow's – it's fractionally more dramatic – but I'm pleased with this one too.

Realmente dramática, si señor. Buen encuadre y tratamiento, como siempre. Menudo temporal hay estos dias. Un saludo

first, nice shot, with the fingers of god..
second, I've noticed you've changed your RAW converter to RAW Developer, from C1Pro.. What made you change? Is there any major differences that made you change, as you've been using C1Pro for ages eh?

I really like the lines of this image - the separation of the three areas with the light rays connecting them... though I do find the water a little distracting. It is hard to explain... It feels like it is separated from the rest of the image by its distinctly harsh highlight, yet being pulled in by the soft rays... interesting contrast.

I'm not sure. Maybe there's too much dark. I'm not a big fan of this particular shot.

The sky is just fantastic. As pointed out by Nate there is something strange with the sea. It seems oversharpened. This is even emphasized by the blurry foreground (beach?).

Everytime a pleasure to view your pictures. And this one I really like because of these three layers. And great details. Fuzziness of the forward water, and sharpness of the background and the lights of god.
Real good.

My kind of shot indeed. Not sure about the foreground though? The blurry aspect draws the eye away from the sea & sky: maybe better with it cropped out?
I really like this one. The ocean blue is beautiful and I like the focus point.

i truly love your work and enjoy every shot you take: congratulations. in this shot though, i don't like the blurry first part: is it water or sand?

ben: I've been using RAW Developer intermittently, but have decided to give it a more thorough evaluation. When I've come to some firm conclusions I'll post them here.
Nate and Pierre: I think it's the stark contrast between the soft foreground and the sharp sea rather than the sea being over-sharpened, but I take your point.
Dave C: I did think about cropping it out, but I didn't feel the shot was distinctive enough without the foreground element.
