Please don't take this comment wrong...because I am by no means a professional with landscapes. But to me it is missing a little something. What exactly I am not sure but it is missing the "wow" factor. It seems just a little plain. Again please don't take this wrong...just one persons opinion.

Please do not post large images directly to the forums. When posting images to the forums, be aware that some readers access the site via dial-up, and that in some countries, Internet access is charged per KB downloaded. With this in mind, images larger than about 30K, or more than 500 pixels in either dimension, should be posted as links or thumbnails.

A few things that I noticed:

1. For some reason the shot seems to lean. Right side seems higher than left side. Even if it's not truely leaning it has the appearance.

2. There is too much compitition between the land/sea and the sky.
3. The white dots in the sea draws my attention - ends in a WTF is that?
4. Too saturated for my tastes. The saturation level overwhelms the image - try 10% less or back it off from when it becomes faux.

I think this image is very good. It's easy for someone else to sit back and say what's wrong. But in the end its a good composition - I think you are trying too hard and it's snowballing.

I would rotate the image to get rid of the lean: Regardless of what the dots are - heal them out. If this is the result of two exposures, I would go back and bring out the detail in the clouds. Right now they are just white - nothing to them. If you bring them out I think it will pop. While I am a fan of saturation - I find that bringing it about 10% below max (max is the point it is easy to see it's fake) will really give that 'man the colors are so vibrant' feeling.

Great image - I wish I had a shot like this.
