### Description

This is an image from a day 's walk along the Fisherman’s Trail at the Atlantic Coast in the south-west of Portugal. The sea was rather calm, and I made use of a long-term exposure to convey my thoughts on the constant interplay of elements.

### Specific Feedback

Any comments and critique are welcome

### Technical Details

Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 with Olympus Zuiko 12-60mm 2.8-4, tripod, ND filter

The long exposure has created a very serene and calm scene Peter. I like the color pallet and the rock formations have created a nice sense of motion from left to right and taking me into the image. Nicely done.
