A woman looking out over the Welsh Coast in the UK - Desaturate and dodge and burn with some selective colour levels used also. Then grain reduced and sharpened. Taken on the 12mm of the lens.

Heh, why in the world you are requesting a critique I wonder. You have an eye for a scene, are creative and certainly a master of the technicals. This image is no exception to any of that, and the score it received reflects this as well.
My personal opinion - You did a really nice job dodging up some details in the foreground. For the sake of tonal balance, an equal amount of effort on some of the highlights in the clouds might work as well and keep the upper right portion of the shot from washing out a bit.
Awesome shot - this image stuck with me as I was doing seascapes (well, on the great lakes anyway) this morning. It really is a brilliant moment, congrats on a great placement!
I adore this. To me this is perfect...It makes me want to throw away my camera, because this is the sort of image I so wanted to take when I first took up photography, but never have.
That sky is so dramatic and sweeps down to meet the horizon right at the vanishing point, drawing the eye through and into the image.
There is a wonderful balance between the sky and land. And the dodging on the grasses gives a wonderful sense of movement.
The person in the image, allows us to see ourselves in the image and gives us a sense of peace and awe.10
