Hi Dave,

BEAUTIFUL!  However a very small suggestion on cropping. But remember "this 
is your photograph and it's as you the shooter see it!"

I find the sand foregound left lower corner area and being of soft focus 
takes away from the super impact of big rock and highlite splashing water.

It's only a very small amount. Crop the out of focus white foam from the 
centre across to the left.  In the lower right corner you should still see a 
tiny stone, one slightly larger up and a slightly larger one above that.

What this crop does is make the eyes stay with the absolute sharpness of the 
rock and highlitghted water splashes.

In your original the foaming blurred (out of focus) water lower left is a 
distraction and takes away from the wonderful impact.

Merely a suggestion as it's your photo.

cheers,
Dr. ted
