Great location for this shot, just cries out for long exposures and low ISOs and tons of dof...so in that respect you certainly nailed it. Composition is very pleasing for this land/seascape. Extra kudos for getting up early for the shot! And as a proud owner of that lens, I can appreciate its use here :-)
But...and there is always a but...as a fan and practitioner of very minimal editing, I find it a tad on the heavy side. I love the shot but would like to see it with less pp, or even sftc. The water looking silky is fine, but the sky and driftwood do draw my eye, as they just don't look right to me.
Hmm.. Very nice photo, although it seems that the leading line is somewhat "ruined" by those buildings (so hard to get away from aren't they??).. Still, a good photograph.
Colours in the sky seems something wrong with? Comp works but seems a bit contrasty in the shadows as well as sea. I think maybe the colours have been worked a little to much here.
