The obscure Porth Nanven has become something of a photographer's destination. Lots of possibilities but coming up with a well-balanced composition is a challenge.
This wasn't an easy processing job; I've put up a blog today about such things called "What is the first rule of Photoshop?"

A really nice shot with pleasing soft colors! I would like to see more of the water worn rocks just behind the "eggs". They have a lot of character too. Not a criticism, just another angle that I would like to see.

A really interesting shot. Lots to keep the eye engaged, without being overly busy or crowded. Maintaining separation between that big rock in the water and most of its surroundings really helps to prevent the image from getting too busy.

A great sky, too.

Fantastic. The boulders are lovely. Te transition from dark to bright in the water is abrupt ---- not sure if it
occurred naturally or it was caused by filter or blending.

The bright water is just the part over the small sandy part of the beach.

Another very fine image, there is a distinctly dreamlike quality to your work, which I find very inspiring... A great read too.

I really like this.
I agree that trying to find a balanced comp here would have been quite difficult...but, you have succeeded!

Lovely, Kah Kit. The low angle, dramatic sky, and precise focus makes this work!
