Nice landscape shot. I like the contrast between the sky/land/and sea. It might be interesting to reshoot on a day when it is not quite so stormy looking, just to get further contrast between the rugged terrain and less stormy looking water.
The thing I notice immediately about this shot is how it feels like it is tilted to the right. I understand it is the perspective of the shot, but it is not diagonal enough to act as a pseudo-leading line, but not straight enough to feel on level. You could try rotating it some to the left, but I am afraid that would make the upper half of the horizon feel kiltered. Perhaps if there were "more" on the left and right, and the viewer could get a definite feeling of an "s" curve of the shore line it would feel more level.
The mist adds a mystical feel to the shot, and adds to the overall mood. The rocks look a little "off" focus (not really out of focus, but not clear, either) which makes the shot lack a bit of depth that it could possibly have.
Overall, I think it is a pretty good shot with some interesting details and stormy mood. Good capture.

| Some nice contrast here and there, unfortunately the mist tends to subdue the overall contrast...for me at least. |

| colors and textures are lovely-- I think this would have been more powerful if you cropped the sky out, as well as some off the right and a little bit off the left and bottom, focusing on the rocks and surf. |

| Not bad. Seems a little overprocessed (too much sharpening on the left portion of the picture) and it doesn't scream "contrast" to me....liquid vs rock maybe? Not quite sure what you were after with this one. |

| Beautiful rich tones and great focus. The tilted angle bothers me a bit, but otherwise great shot! |
