That is one rugged spot to wade out for a swim.  Lots of variety with the rocks peppering the scene.   I suspect you had to select a bit of the shaded areas to extract some texture and light....which shows a halo around some rock piles.   Minor...minor...easily fixed, if desired.  That is a huge range when you look at the horizon with the bright sky and clouds.   Overall a shot well done!
