Picture of the Day: Rocky Outcrop in the Ocean

Photo by: ufufnmitsue.

Spotted this pic in the recent uploads on Flickr. Nice scenic pic of the ocean and the seaside. The sky is well exposed (see the blueish tint to it), and the clouds add some visual appeal. But it looks like this little cove is in a shadow or something – the foreground is really shadowed, while the background is much brighter. Notice the rocks in the mid left that appear to be brighter (no shadow?). The picture is nice compositionally, but a little exposure adjustment in Photoshop/Lightroom to darken the background and lighten the foreground would help it out I think…
