This is the beach of Dappat Se Gat in the Western Cape of South Africa, taken around sunset.

Wow, what great light on the mountains! Was the purple that strong in the clouds to your eyes? I might dial back the purple a tad but otherwise it's good and the location looks fabulous!
Nice shot!

+1. If it were mine I might crop out a bit of water to play up the main subject, colours.

I wouldn't alter anything. A lovely image. It should be printed big and hung on a prominent wall.

Wonderful. I might be tempted to crop just a little bit on the bottom, up to where the diagonal of the wave foam almost touches the frame.

I wouldn't crop a thing. Looks just great as it is.

Beautiful as it is. I don't think that it would be improved with more PP.
Bravo

I agree as it would also eliminate that slight hump of a rock near the bottom middle. A slight increase in local contrast brought by increased "Clarity" (if you're using LR/ACR) might just provide a little more "edge" to the dramatic mountains.

Beautiful light!
