Spring.... I like that title even considering the somewhat overcast and gloomy scene. But the green cast on the boulders and the little bit of warmth on the horizon just makes for your title! I THINK... it is quite colorful! Beautiful!!!

Hi Jose...
You know I always love your stuff. This one is no exception. It reaches deep inside my mind.

But I wonder about some things .....Like wouldn't it be better to not make the colors unreal? They seem pushed to the point that perhaps the image should be in the digital forum perhaps. The other thing I feel is that the soft water effect via slow shutter has been done to death. What I'm trying to say Jose in the most friendly yet frank way, is had this image retained a level of reality, yet expressed the feeling of the sublime as it certainly does in composition........I feel it would have transcended into a whole nuther realm...But you elected to go the route almost everyone else does with overkill in photoshop. ...

What a shame as the image doesn't need photoshop at all...that's how good it is.....It's lost that subtle, gentle, power that nature truly is......

Many thanks for your comment, advices and time Paul. Really I use photoshop only for the blending and all subsequent global processing is made with LR. This image has the following processing parameters relative to color (global), vibrance:+25, saturation:+15.
I guess your comment about saturation is due to green moss stone, well I understand. In spring the green moss on this coastline is not really green the color is "electric green". See the next picture and think that saturation is the same in all of it.
Many thanks to all for the comments.
