This image caught my eye, as I end to like this type of wide-angle composition. I"m guessing that you were aiming to draw the viewer’s eye to travel from the foreground to the inverted horseshoe of sand and the curve to its left, and then to the dramatic sky as the subject, and I think you’ve succeeded. I think the composition works well. The large rock closest to the edge of the frame at the bottom feels so much bigger than the other rocks as to be a bit distracting. Perhaps you could tone it down a bit or crop into it a bit so it’s not quite so prominent.
It’s a nice composition with a strong FG and leading line. I just wish it was leading to a more dramatic BG. The breaking waves are a little too far away to be a strong element of the composition. They don’t have much impact. This is just my opinion of course.
Very nice classic composition. I like how the rocks start out big and gradually grow smaller and smaller into the distance. I also like that the bottom is dark (perhaps too dark) at the bottom so that ift doesn’t feel cut off visually. The land to sky ratio feels about right. I normally prefer verticals to be a bit wider but that’s just me.
