Fantastic image. We're you using any filters?

Wow, a stunner.

  Thank you.  Yes, of course - a 10-stop ND Hoya filter.  As you can see (by looking at the clouds) the sun is over my shoulder or behind me depending on how you want to look at it. The EXIF = 1.3 second exposure, ISO 100, f/11.  Oh, and I was on a Benro tripod with the legs all splayed out, with the centerline of the lens about 14-inches off the beach.    I hope that helps.  If not ask more questions.

Great shot....looks so serene.

Very, very nice place, light and image overall. 

If it was my picture I'd either crop a bit off the top or bottom to get rid of this 50/50 horizon divide line

Serge:

 

I understand your point.  The crop I show here does not meet the usual rule of thirds you allude to.  That was a contcience decision on my part.  I wanted the ocean and the sky to have equal emphasis.  Besides look at a lot of contemporary abstract painting or photo work.  50/50 is the new crop.  Good observation but I will keep the crop I have. Thanks.

I like the crop as-is too. The rocks form a nice visual line at ~2/5 and the clouds at ~3/5 that balance each other well. The long exposure gives a calm, quiet feel to the picture where a shorter one might give a harder feeling. Nice work!
