Hi Pinhole,
I agree - the crop has improved the composition, and warming the image has helped, too
Here are (probably! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />) my last two 'goes' at this image... cropped narrower, one B&W, one warmer colours, grad filter on the sky...

Hi Ian, I really like the colour version now. I think it's graphically very clear, the composition puts more emphasis on the row of rocks leading out to sea, and the colours look natural (it doesn't have that digital over-contrasty look, it's more like film).
I'm less keen on the B&W version because I feel it lacks enough contour on the horizon(the person in the pic gets kind of lost too), and the imperfections due to the sun (the crinkly shape of the corona and the lens flare) work for the image in colour, but against it in B&W.
All the best,
Pinhole
