Hi Niek,
Merging the 2 images was worth all the time and effort, because the end result became something really noteworthy. Great usage of the "sunny f/16 rule", and even you had black volcanic rocks in the foreground, the exposure is excellent, no loss of details at all. Pleasant composition and beautiful "long-exposure effect" on the water (and on the clouds). Not simply acceptable, as you wrote, but a masterful image imho. Bravo!
Best regards, László

Niek,
All those islands are live volcanic formations; they have earth tremors 24/7/365.
Great image.
You are a true MASTER; plus, you know the tricks of the trade = photography.
CONGRATULATIONS,
Mario.
P.S. My server, Telus, is still working on my situation re: this site. Am still using a "PROXY" connection.
The "useful" does NOT register.

Hi Niek,
Eigenlijk kan ik hier maar één ding van zeggen: een meesterwerk.
Dit gaat bijna de fotografie te buiten. Het is meer dan dat.
Groet,
Peter

Hallo Niek
I was very happy when I saw this beautiful landscape you posted. I
really miss scenes like these as the landscape photographers are missing from the site. People like PaulH, gracious, Signal-womb, just to mention a few, truly spoiled us with wonderful scenes of nature and it is a pity that they do not post anymore.
This scene is very relaxing to look at and enjoy. Best regards and thanks for sharing.

Hi Niek.
The result of your efforts is stunning. Photo looks like art work. Tcloude sky is very impressive as well as shadowed rocks, piece land with vegetation and nicely blurred and coloured waves. Well done and TFS.
Alexei.
