Nicely done. For my personal taste, I would’ve liked processing on the output image to lighten the foreground a little to lighten the beach, but not too much as to take over the overall effect, a delicate balance.
I totally get it, and for some, it works great for them and has a nice effect. I did have the foreground up a little more, but in the end I decided to go with the softer, darker scene to keep it closer to the natural effect.
I will re-visit the shot in post after I have some time to "forget" how it looked in person and see if your suggestions will catch my eye.
