Very good! I like very much the bushes on the bottom, that to me appear as if they were below the sea, like corals. This is actually pretty funny given that they are in some way "below" the sea. The image has some kind of "aquarium" feel to it (but maybe it's also my crappy laptop monitor).
The only improvement I could suggest would have been to walk a little to the left and hold more to the right so that you get a little bit more sea on the right side and less of that shadow on the left side. But that's probably being overly critical.
If you don't mind cloning, the lower right edge could need some more bushes.
Could you provide a little more details on the shot? Did you use a polarizer?

Thanks :-)
Yes - I used a polarizer together with the Sony A550 and the Tamron 17-50/2.8. It was stitched together by Photoshop CS3 and pimped by Lightroom 3 Beta 2 - well, that's it :-)

I must say I do like the resized version. When it was larger it didn't look good (not bad either), but the background didn't seem sharp. That's fixed now <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />. I do like the bushes as well. They almost look like corals, which seems very fitting.
I also like the fact that it is as if there are faces in the rocks; I can only assume that this is why these rock formations are called the twelve apostles. It makes my eye wander around the image, and again, which I think is what an image has to do. Draw one in and keep one's attention.
Kind regards, Wim

It's terrific Sebastion. If you don't mind me asking - was it a single row panorama, what was your aperture setting and were you focussing at infinity?
Many thanks
Vincenzo

Well, actually the first one was just a cropped version :-) Please find below the full length...

Hi, thank you very much :-)
Yes, it was a single row pano with 12 shots at 17mm and f/4.0 and focused to infinity - if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask...
Bye Sebastian
I like the colours and exposure - very well done :-)
Hello Sebastian,
I am somewhat confused when I look at this image. My eye want to go right and follow the rocks, there is no real focus point where my eyes are drawn to.
Best wishes,
Reinier

Actually, they used to be twelve sandstone rocks in the sea ... unfortunately at least two of them
have crashed in the last 20 years (due to erosion). Same thing happened about 20 years ago
to a very famous rock formation called "the london bridge" which is located not far from
the 12 apostels (on the "great ocean road" as well). I've slides from the apostels from 1990
and more slides from 1997 and 1999 ... the difference between them: At least one apostel
"converted believes" so to say.
I like this image, especially because it doesn't show the "standard view" on the apostels that
you usually get if you just stop at the main parking area.
Just my 2cts.
