Laguna Beach sunset

Frog Lady

hi all,

I don't normally get to do this sort of image, but I'm curious what all the landscape guru's think.

This was taken from a rocky outcropping in N. Laguna about a week ago. An amazingly clear day - the mountains you see in the background is Catalina Island, 26 miles off the coast.

Does the sky have enough interest to be worthy of taking up over 1/2 the image?

do the out of focus tidepools at the bottom detract from the image? (I know, I should have stopped down the aperature more)

Any other hints for better image composition and/or processing this image would be appreciated.

thanks for taking the time to critique a sports shooter's landscape :clap

cheers,

C.
