Great job! I am giving this shot a 7. I love the playful light hitting the valley and the cliff face, and love the foreground setting the shot. I loved the color in the ocean, and the hazy feel of the sky, but the sky lacked a little bit of lackluster, or I'd have rated this higher. Good job in meeting the challenge, and for making me feel like I want to hang glide from this very spot and float on down to see what lies in the distance.
Scenic island, and the tones of the ocean are amazing. The forground looks to be just a tad overexposed - a CP or ND filter might have really kicked this up another step. But as is, it's still very good. 8
