Sunset at Sobranes Point

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Sunset on the California coast. Point Lobos State Beach, Sobranes Point. This sunset was gorgeous and I was trying to make an image that conveyed that feeling as much as an image can. My main focus was on the sun and the reflection in the water, but needed the context of the rugged coast.

Specific Feedback

Which crop works best. Is this “wall worthy”? Is it too dark?

Technical Details

Taken as the sun was setting at a beautiful location on the California coast. Tried for the starburst. Sony a1, Tamron 28-75 lens. f22, 1/125 on a tripod. ISO 400.
