Reshoot of with a completely different take on my usual approach to the jetty, plus a much more sophisticated, but still overpowering, approach to the tone mapping.

Ouch, missed that magic 6 by the slightest hair! Doncha' hate that? I must say I am bewildered that the very similar earlier entry pulled a high 6 and this didn't get near it. Popular appeal is an unpredictable thing for those of us that don't shoot squirrels.
It's very nice how the turbulent clouds mirror the tracked up sand in the lower right. Too bad you couldn't have known about this cloud formation a few minutes earlier so that you would have had more composition opportunities.
Processed to death ... but it became a nice illustration. IMO the black borders and the white lines are completely unnecessary and take away some of the drama. Drama does not need to be confined.
Stunning. I love the rich textures of the clouds and shore. The complimentary deep blues and rich browns really work together. This would be great enlarged really BIG on a canvas. :)
