Mundane and lacks creativity, of course.

I gave this an 8. I really like your use of a foreground element to add the illusion of 3 dimensions. Excellent control of exposure, with no details lost in highlights or shadows. Your horizon line is level. The ocean is dramatic with good use of silk water effect. One of the more natural and beautiful seascapes I've seen on this site. The proportions of the image are long. Some people use those black bars above and below to make the image look better on the voting page. Don't know why that helps, but it does seem to improve visual appeal. I wouldn't worry about your score, which is too low for the caliber of the image. The current set of voters is difficult to figure out. Better to lean on what you like and ignore the finicky.
