Another shot of Cutagee.

It doesn't look overly manipulated. I like this and I also like the other one. Nice work.

I agree with Kevin - there is nothing wrong with your processing here. Well done !

Thanks for your input....much appreciated.

I'm going to buck the trend and state that I like this one more. For me, the additional texture in the water lends a greater sense of presence and thus contributes more to the mood. With this version I am more able to imagine myself actually standing on that beach and experiencing it with my own eyes. The camera elevation works well. It looks and feels cold and desolate. It's quite beautiful.

Thanks Ken, I kind of agree there...now I'm really confused

Great print, you could not have done it better. I prefer this one.
