Hi, this one of my favorite images taken quite late in the evening after sunset. I've used a few images with various shutter speeds (5 to 30s) to get some color in the sky, light in the cavern and movement in the water. They were blended in Photoshop with luminosity masks. My question is have I taken it too far or should I darken the cavern walls to get closer to natural lighting and make a more definite frame around the sea stack?

This is a beautiful shot. Perhaps the cavern walls could be darkened a bit, but it is well done.
Thanks Faith
Hi Brian, I love the location, the water and the light. I think perhaps a little darker in the cave would be good, but the part of the image that is too bright is the sand cliff to the left. If the sun is setting to the left, the cliff is too bright in comparison to the island to its right. it pulls the eyes away from the main focus of the image.
