Is the right 1/2 too dark. I brought up the shadows before posting this but not sure. I like the contrast but what do others think?

Mario, I like this image very much for the delicate, rhythmic lines created with ICM. On lighting, in my opinion the brightest yellow of the sun is a little too bright. I agree the shadows on the right side are dark and maybe could be made a little lighter to make a smoother transition of color from yellow to blue. The contrast is nice.
I agree about the yellow area and have darkened this area. Thank you for the feed back.
Very cool Mario! I love the texture that has been created by the movement. Looks to me like 2 motioins during the exposure? (not that it matters, it doesn’t…)
I like the pano layout, but does make me wonder what you cropped from, and why? Regardless, I also like the warm/cool color balance. I wouuld agree the yellow was a bit bright. I think though, in the 2nd version, darkening the yellow I think increased the saturation a bit. No biggie of course - after all this is an abstract!
I really like the motion in the surf and the subsequent texture throughout. I think I’m wanting to see more top and bottom. But all a personal choice.
Beautifully captured ICM.
