Return for comment. Great scene and great long exposure to show wind. To me, the sand is the highlight, and the strong contrast of the clouds weakens that a bit. In fact, the sky/clouds is so contrasty, it looks a bit unnatural. Had you burned it it more, darker blue, it would have competed less with the sand. Constructive criticism aside, it's a strong photo, worthy of an 8.

I would've liked the cropping a little tighter on the right side to give more focus on the swans, but...
Gorgeous!

Great capture of the sand being whipped by the wind, while the other details of waves, clouds, and buildings are clear. Interesting and effective.
