Rays over Pacific Ocean

Hey guys. Here's a new photo from Russian Ridge, California. I really like the competing drama and tranquility of the shot. I also really like how the clouds look so thick and continuous but the projection on the ocean in the distance shows how fragmented they really are.
I kinda have been forsaking foreground anchors lately. Sometimes I feel like it's hurting my recent shots but for some reason, I just don't feel like including them. Oh well, we all go through artistic whims and experimentation. Anyways, hope you like it.

Photos that don't suck / 365 / Film & Lomography
Whenever I attempt landscapes, I got for HDR so I can capture everything.
What technique did you use to capture this shot?
YoungNomad: I prefer manual blending, as I feel I can get a more realistic-looking result. This is a combination of two photos, but three images. One photo was taken at a longer exposure for the foreground. The second photo was taken shorter, for the sky. Then, in Adobe Camera Raw, I created two versions of this second photograph, one processed for the sky, and one being an intermediate between the two (for the border between the sky and foreground). I then blended the three together using layers and masks.
