Well not a bad shot but kindof flat contrast wise for my taste and not really anything I haven´t seen before but that´s just me and I live by the sea so I need more than that to be impressed. Voted a 5.

Sky seems a little grainy although the whole picture has a gritty feel to it so the grain isn't really out of line.

Some of your upper clouds seem blown out - hard on the eyes, or should I say harsh?? Good subject.

Not a bad shot.
THe darker patches of cloud spol the sea and the 'greyness' over the rocks, where i don't know if you've tried to dodge them to bring out some detail, seems to ruin the main subject for me.

Otherwise quite nice.

Nice dramatic sky! Thank you for not over processing it to make it overly so.

I'm sorry, imho, the 'Living' Sea is not harsh. I'm not voting in this challenge so you don't have to worry about me.

Seems too calm. Even the gull looks peaceful.

it's obvious you brightened the rocks. also, there are clearly visible post-processing artefacts at right edge that could have been cropped off. horizon looks kinda hand-drawn
