Congrats on the HM! My comment for the Art Jury:
A beautiful shoreline with lots to take in. So many different layers working very symphonically together. Beautiful b/w toning and a balanced composition blend it all together. This images speaks to me any many different levels. Bringing back many memories. Evoking feelings I'd wish to feel again. I find the sea so inspiring. Anytime I feel a void or a need to recharge I head to the shore. So I do have a strong and hopefully good bias in that I hope to share some in depth thoughts. It appears as though as a storm is leaving, with the contrasting light as the sun is out, as the looming storm clouds are scattering and the current creates some sea spray. I can imagine the rush of salty sea air. Quite refreshing. The lone little bird (sandpiper?) balances out the shot and adds to the scale. I think it would've also been a good capture without it but it'd feel too desolate without a living creature and perhaps evoke another feel, perhaps a more negative one. I hope you've enjoyed the process of taking the photo. Thanks for sharing! I hope it does well in the challenge.

Excellent tones and content; however, the sharpening halos on the oyster-catcher break the immersion for me somewhat, as that's the focus of the image. I also find the power lines leading out of the right edge of the image a little distracting - I'd have cloned those out, but that's very minor. One of my favourites from this challenge.

I would love to have seen this in color. The B&W leaves me wanting more.

Landscape as "art" is a fine line to draw. Without the bird it's just a nice photo. But you have the bird, which is all the difference. Top 5 for me, maybe better than that.

(update)
It was better than that. Top 2

You could not have asked for more terrific elements to pop up in this shot- the bird, the waves the dunes the rock the sand and surf- and the magnificent cloud fit for an aged but toned white bearded deity to spout out of-

Powerful sense of motion, and determined march towards the right, by all involved.

Such wonderful tones and layers to this and all so perfectly balanced, right down to the bird, who's tiny character dominates this lovely landscape!

I love that I keep confusing the shore for more waves.
