This is a location that I have been meaning to visit ever since I began photography and one that has been visited by so many photographers over the years. I didn't go here to top some of those shots I have seen before those images have been made by the weather and lighting conditions only seen by being in the right place at the right time.
I waited a good half hour after sunset in a chilling wind for the light to be subdued enough and to capture the rocks with a long exposure. I used a 2-stop grad for this image as I tend not to blend long exposed images as they can appear unnatural

Technique ImpactFantastic light and a quite stunning landscape. The foreground leads perfectly into the image. We can quite nicely distinguish the division into three parts. The foreground with a unusual eye cathching rock formation, the midground with wonderful water movement and beautiful cliffs and the background with slightly blurred clouds and a particular colour.
One can see here how good a classic composition can work. The frame is adequately chosen and the format fits the scene perfectly.
One point about the sky would be that there are maybe a bit too much highlights. In my view it could be a bit darker. Maybe you can burn it a little bit.
That's what I can say about it.
