Thanks Heather.
In th original the horizon was not 100% level, so I fixed that in C1 before starting to work in PS. I agree, slightly tilted horizon is very annoying, but if it is really tilted, like >15% then it can work.
The things in the BG, on the waterline are big rocks. There is a lighthouse on top of the biggest one (the one with the hole through). I have a few photos of that lighthouse:
and this gallery in my portfolio.
There is, of course, more texture in a full size version of this, esp in the black sand and snow.
When I shot this, I wasn't really paying attention to the clouds, I was trying to get the contrast between the white snow and black sand. It was only later, during post.prod. that I noticed the nice 3D effect in them.

This is a nice scene. I think the only thing that's bugging me here is that I can't tell what it is in the background. There are some silhouettes of buildings? or Rocks? or something and they are too tiny to tell exactly what they are, so they are distracting me from the rest of the photo cause I'm trying to figure out what they are.
The sky is beautiful. Love the clouds.
Had you not mentioned that it was snow, I thought it looked like a whole lot of 'sea foam'.
You did a wonderful job leveling out your horizon. Nothing irritates me more than a waterline that is tilting to one side or another and you got it perfect.
Focus and clarity are really good. We get to see some texture and even some patterns in the snow on the beach.
Overall a beautiful view.

| This is a tough photo to take because of the contrast between the snow / clouds and the dark beach. I would have liked to see more of the beach details |

| I wonder how this would look if it were cropped at the bottom to cut down on some of the sand? This would highlight the beautiful sky. |

| Good composition. Nice use of wide angle lens. The flow is good both in the coastline and the sky towards the rocks. There is a good balance between the sky and the shore. -8 |
