First Impressions
(Deja Vu) I admired this briefly the other day and my first impression then was: a beautiful image with a well done long exposure, featuring one of my favorite birds, but the geology aspect wasn't as dominant as I'd like to have seen for the Challenge, but only slightly. The image of course shows good formations, but there are other fine elements within the image that compete for center stage.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Composition is very good, perhaps a little more visual balance by a little more height in the rear rock and a slightly tighter crop at the bottom, not sure - but of course, with the bird in this position and the flow of the waves - some things cannot be 'shifted'.
The lighting on the rocks, especially at the rear, is nice and warm and shows the surface and details well. The control of the whites looks very good and it sounds like you notched it up just right in pp.
It's good to hear you printed a larger version of this and are content with it.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
As I've said before: first place, can't complain. 7.25 I see is your new PB, so well done with this excellent score. You won the hearts of most of your commenters.
Summary
A rare opportunity well captured - you produced a very serene and gentle image that shows the constance and harmony between geology and other elements of nature.
