I am ashamed and appalled to see that I gave this a 4. I don't understand, as the photo is strong, and the quote motivating. I remember thinking when viewing it that I was on the negative side of ambivalence regarding the font, and that I wished the tide-smoothed sand extended right to the left, but those are nit-picks. All I can claim is a moments insanity (or I pressed the wrong button) - can I be forgiven, Bear?....
The phrase fits the image really well, but is not inspiring me to do anything. The sky in the photo is huge, made even more so by the crop at the bottom with a litmited foreground, yet the entire image lacks a focal point, which is effective for the phrase, but doesn't really leave a lasting impression.
It is a great sky, it's enhanced by your tasteful processing. Regrettably there's nothing to grab for the eye, only some lines which lead out of the picture.
