I think this photo is incredible from the top to the bottom. It is well balanced and offers the eye a treat at every corner and everywhere in between.
Your handling of both tone and color in this image is exceptional. Nothing is pushed too far and the color palette is refined and harmonious.
I really enjoy where you have placed my feet on this photograph. You have given me a sense of location with your composition and stretched the boundaries of my imagination. Very well done and handled from top to bottom.

This photo shows the sheer power of the ocean. You used the proper exposure to freeze the action enough, yet leave enough of a trail to express motion.
I like your processing method here as well. Nothing is taken too far and shows what it would have looked like true to the scene.
It grabs me from the top left of the photo and drags me to the right as if I am the wave about to come back to meet the ocean. It is disorienting and beautiful at the same time. Wel ldone.
This image intrigues me, a lot! I enjoy the color palette that you chose and I really like that it is different from its peers in the category.
Your image feels like it is telling a story with your long exposure consideration and the way you processed it. Its different, comforting, warm, and inviting. It makes me want to be there but at the same time, makes me feel as if I already have.

*Blake's brief:* The reason why I started shooting landscape photos was because of my love of the ocean. I started taking long exposure photos of waves at night before I even knew it was a thing. That was back in 2006 and ever since then I have had a deep-rooted love for the seascape! For this contest, I would like to see your most epic seascape shot! It doesn’t have to be long exposure, or sunset or any specific requirement, but it MUST include the sea/ocean, of course! I will be looking for a photo that is balanced by composition and subject matter. Have fun and I can’t wait to see what you produce!
