Derek, the exposure control here is excellent. The detail in the rocks is very visable without being pushed too much. Of course the sky ani't bad either, highlights there are very good also.
A very nice image overall.
For me the sky and wash feel unaturaly bright for a sunset to me. Darker would enhance the color saturation. Maybe 1/2 stop.
The composition per say is not mindblowing (ok I find it dull), but it seems you got the best from that angle and controlled all the parameters pretty well for the take.

I sort of agree with Dan on the composition though I think you handled the exposure very well. Anytime you can shoot into the sun and not get flare you must be doing something right.

3 repliesI liked the textures of the sand and foam coming in. You can see it better in the larger version here:

This is a blended exposure - one for the sky the second for the rest.
