Shipwreck coast

Another photo taken the same day as The 12 Apostles
I like this shot yet something needs doing with this photo. I played with it yet remain unsatisfied, any suggestions? It may be a lost cause.
Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!

Very nice shot. Have you tried making it Black and White and cropping out some of the sky and foreground? See if that doesn't do something for ya.

A magical seascape... Beautiful light, It works very well in B&W.

For me, I think that you should try to obsure a little bit the sky. The haze around the rocks is ok, very mystic! Beautiful picture.

I also like the hazy/misty look of the rocks.

Very cool, yet it's difficult to work with this shot because there are so many blown highlights from the reflections on the waves. Maybe try cropping out a bit of the right side, and some of the sky, and weight the levels more toward darkness. And I think either completely desaturate, or bump the saturation up a few notches (my preference). Also, it looks slightly tilted. Or go back and reshoot, because it sure looks like a magical place.

@Damon Schreiber: I think that's the problem Damon, it is those blown highlights that almost look OK but I can't do a thing with them. I hadn't thought of the return visit. Why not? Good idea ... a good excuse for a lovely weekend!
