This looks like a great scene to capture some sunset/sunrise images. Unfortunately there isn't much detail in the texture of the rocks and it looks out of focus. I think you could of positioned yourself differently to give a better composition. I hope you're able to return back to this location in the future and capture another sunset/sunrise image. I would like to know the location of this image.

I really like the composition of this image. The darker rocks either side of the water make my eyes lead up through the image to that sunset/sunrise. I would liked to have seen a bit more colour in the sky to make this image more dramatic, however this is still an excellent image. Well done.

This scene looks like it has real potential. I hope you're able to return to this location because I'm sure you could come away with a winning image here. I would like to know the location of this image too.

I love the mood of this image. The control of the shutter speed is perfect and creates a very interesting image with with lots to look at. I really like all the motion in the image and it makes me feel like this day was a rough one at sea. The sun setting in the background creates a warmth to the image which tones down that harsh feel to the ocean and creates a great mood.

This is a fantastic image. The very contrasting mid-tones make this image look outstanding. I'm not really a fan of the white buildings though. For me they look a little fake but this ticks all the boxes for the brief of this contest and is exactly what I was looking for. Great work.

A lovely sunset/sunrise panorama of Hong Kong. The colours in the sky are beautiful and look quite natural. I don't remember seeing many cities in this contest so it was nice to see something different. Thank you for entering this image.
