A view from a place west of Eugene. Constructive criticism welcome.

Shoe, I kinda like it but I have questions. Was ISO 100 native ISO or was/is it within the "interpolated" area of extended ISO? My reason for asking is that I have rarely seen so much noise in a digi-pic taken at ISO 100. Does the image "come that way" on your Olympus or have you used PP magic here?
All of the "graininess" does give the image a more ethereal look that I find appealing. An especially nice touch was bringing along your friends on horseback. That, for me, anchors the image in reality and makes it more engaging.

I disabled the noise filter in Photolab 4 to enhance the fog. Here is one with less noise (DeepPRIME).

To finish the reply, ISO 100 is the default, and the horseback riders aren't my friends, they were probably a posse looking for me. There is another person farther away who is on foot.

It is not so much noise as really nasty .JPG compression artifacts.

Unless you want to add contrast to the sky you might try cropping most of it off the top of the image. Overall the image feels blue (so goes cold summer days at the coast). What happens if you boost the white balance color temp a bit? There are some subtle textures in the sand lines, especially at the bottom. You could emphasize them with some local adjustments dropping the blacks some (in LR or ACR).

There is so little color in the image that I thought that B/W might work better. Thoughts?
