A nice idea and good composition, but you could make a couple of improvements to make this a great shot. First of all, use a smaller aperture to get a much better depth of field. A shot like this really really needs a good depth of field, and f/11 just isn't going to give that to you.

Secondly, it looks like you've used a fill-in flash. This has not done the subject any favors at all, and the foreground colors have been washed out as a result.

If you have a problem of light intensity variation between the land a sky, it's usually best to use a graduated neutral density filter to darken one half and bring the shot into balance.

Well seen and well composed. I do think though that the subject of the shot isn't bold enough and ends up losing out to the sharp rocks in the foreground. If possible, I'd have waited until at least something on the headland became more visible before taking the shot.

I like this very much, though I keep thinking that it could have been even better if you could have found a vantage point nearer to the water, which would have allowed you to avoid the vegetation.

Did you use a filter?
