Daniel, this is a nicely moody view from this site.  I agree that the sky is great.  There's a fine sense of flow in the clouds leading down to the sun and the main sea stack.  I also like the reflections in the waves at the bottom.  The bird on top of the rock is a fine addition.

Saying that the clouds cooperated is kind of an understatement if you ask me, they are about as good as it gets! The reflection of the rock also creates a nice pattern at the bottom. No nits!

Excellent perspective and lighting, dramatic sky and a beautiful rendering of the water with its reflections.  The variations in tone are very attractive too. devil

The wet sand and it's reflections are beautiful. And the swirling sky over the central sharp rock with the gull is exciting to look at. The rocks on the right IMO detract from the composition. And although it seems like it would be a crime to crop out any of the sky I do think that cropping out those rocks and part of the sky to make the format attractive would improve this image.Even reducing some of the rock on the right to make it less significant helps the subject. Again, just my opinion.

It might be interesting to see this in B&W but I suspect that the slight amount of color present adds to the image is good.

Wonderful capture, Daniel, no nits from me. I like the swirling elements, the gull and the subdued sunstar.

Realy nice take, composition, and the way the sun's rays flash onto the rock.

Beautiful Daniel. I really like the large version. This could easily make a nice BW too.

Hi Daniel,

 

I am really enjoy what you have seen and captured in this fine image. The texture in the foreground sand is sweet, and the positioning of the sun partly behind that rock is vey effective. The clouds in the sky complete this scene beautifully.

Beautiful photography
