 I think this is about the most editing I've done with layers, curves, 2 exposures from the RAW file to try and get some detail from the sky, more curves, a little dodge and burn, and I'm still not 100% happy with it. I'm certainly no Ansel Adams, lol!

Compositionally, I really like this image; some increased contrast in the cliffs and in the foam could enhance its Adams-like qualities. Good job.

The composition is marvelous. The focus on the cliffs is a touch soft, and there seems to be some muck on the lens or sensor, but otherwise very good.
