  1. Yes
Can't imagine it being captured and developed better! Nice!
 
I would have set the tripod about where the closest bit of scrubby bush is to get more sky and shed, leaving out the boulder and shingle. And I would have been wrong. This is wonderful just as it is.

A couple hours later - Maybe add a bit of forward movement on top and left side.
8 hours later - put the tripod next to the boulder and take the top-right 1/3 of this photo. That sky is just fantastic!
 
'Tis a small thing' no pun, but did you do this shot with only the building in focus?

What you have here is very good, but, I must wonder, as the foreground might be a bit 'busy' and the out of focus boulder and tree in a softer depth of field would put the viewers eye on the prime subject, as they lead the eye up the slope, to the house?

I believe this would take this from a view of the beach and water, etc and make it more about the house and wonferful sky.

IMO.
 
I think this is well seen and executed. If I had to nitpick, I think the boulder could use a little more "breathing room" at the bottom.
 
Bottom line for me: This is a great shot with lovely compositiion and great use of the toner.
Congrats
 
Wonderful! Though the boulder blocks my way in traveling to the tree and boat shed.
 
This could also work as a panoramic by cropping to the top of the big boulder, but it's a fine shot as-is.
