It certainly ticks all the photographic boxes for timing, composition and processing (although a -0.5 or -1 grad mask from the bottom would help to "contain" the image). However, it's not making an emotional connection, for me anyway. It could be the lack of a connection (strong leading line, for e.g.) between the eroded columnar basalt in the foreground and the wave, itself. I know this is along a coastline, so the two are instrinsically connected, but photographically they are not.
One might ask, "Do they need to be connected?" No, I suppose not, but it would feel more "comfortable" if there was a connection and, because the photo appears to be more decorative landscape than cutting-edge visionary (no slight intended), it would make sense to connect the two.
