Hi Master - this is a very pleasant, nicely done image.

It also is not "overcooked" as a lot of HDR images can be. Some folks really over do it, bringing back too much shadow detail and rendering the picture flat with no interesting contrast. You avoided that pitfall here. I really like the cloud detail and contrast but would crop out most of the dark foreground as I don't feel it really adds to the image. Thank you for sharing. - Stu

Cropping is still something I don't see immediately but your right, it would be better:

Yes - this improves the picture. Some may say that it violates the rule of thirds, but you know, there are times when that's OK in view of the image elements. Is this near a sandy beach or some area of dunes? That appears to be sand.

Its at the "dunes" not far from here, love the place you can come to yourself every now and then :D
