I don't know how your shooting position was manageable, mate, but that foreground rock is huuuugely bothering me.
This text is from my photo guide to this area, as shown on my
website, with the salient points in highlighted in bold text for you Slobodan and which explains why I took the shot from the place that I took it:
So jump out of your vehicle and head off up the path towards the windmill, with the rugged rocky coast now on your right. Then as you get near to the windmill, you will see over a wire fence to your right, where there are a set of old stone steps, leading down to the front edge of the pool. There is actually an entrance point to these steps, but for whatever reason, the council has deemed them to be too dangerous or something, so has blocked them off with a fence. But it is only a relatively low fence, that is very easy to step over - cue the Judas Priest's track, Breaking the law, breaking the law..etc.
I suggest you use your wide angle zoom for this shot, as shown above. Because to get all of the reflective tidal pool and the foreground rocks fully into the shot, as well as allowing you to place the windmill, on a nicely balanced compositional point within the upper left(ish) third of the image, means you are going to be shooting wide.
So once you have made your way over the fence (Breaking the law, breaking the law..etc), if you now walk down the half a dozen steps to the bottom, you will find there is a flat concrete platform, that sits right on the edge of the tidal pool and which is in just the right place and of just the the right size, to allow you to comfortably set up your tripod, for the view shown in SHOT 1 at the top of this [chapter] thread.So yes, there really is only one place to take this shot from - and I will be honest, I thought and still find, that those foreground rocks act as a nice lead-in line to the windmill. But hey, we all see things differently and have different preferences
