This photo was taken on the Gulf coast in Florida last winter. It's a simple scene of course with basically four horizontal components, the silhouetted land, strip of sea, band of illuminated clouds, and blue sky. I was tempted to remove some blue sky so it didn't halve the picture but then I'd be stuck with the proportions of a comic strip. Anyway, this scenery is where I'm going before long.

Your composition is fine for this image, and the amount of sky is necessary to balance the silhouetted mass of foreground.
A split neutral density filter would have helped with the sky/cloud detail, but the HDR plug-in does a better and controlable recovery.
This is a beautiful shot, and I spent the kids Winter break in the Treasure Island area for a number of years.

This one's a beauty, Edwin. Doug is probably correct, but I didn't understand most of his commentary. My only problem with this shot is the edge around the sun. It just look too real.

I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Very nice scenic photo with a stunning looking sky and the picture as a nice feel of distance to it as well.
