Thanks for the suggestions.
I did actually try most of them, I settled on this "wide" rather than "ultra wide" focal length due to the fact I really wanted to include the arc of sand that had been carved out by the waves in the bottom right. This particular angle shows the soft glow of the rising sun as well as the shaded sides of the rocks, the view straight out to the ocean loses this contrast, though I did process several images to see how it would turn out.
If you were to look slightly to the right of the image, there is a very cluttered coastline of rocks which I feel is too distracting. Also a fellow photographer was standing there
So I gather the overall feedback is "not overly exciting"?
