Shot on the beach in Sandbridge, Virginia while freezing my butt off. The sun would not cooperate with me either and kept going behind the clouds. I was a little disappointed with the results and I'm sure this won't score very high.
Cropped
Adjusted brightness and contrast
Slight Neat Image to help with noise in the sky.

I think you were lucky to have taken the shot in slightly diffuse light, otherwise the shot would be without the rich mid-tones that make it an exceptional sea-side shot. I find the sand more interesting than the sky, so I think the photo could be improved by moving the horizon upward, but there is an essential balance struck between the azure sky and the tawny beach sand that ought not be compromised; reframing risks this. Nice. And congrats!

Horizon should be up or down --- not right in middle. Something in foreground to lead in would be good.

An excellent setting and composition.

A nice photo, however, you lose points for the horizon being crooked and remember the rule of thirds. 7

Nice colors and exposure, I may have either raised or lowered (probably lowered) the camera angle a tad for improved composition (in my opinion). I like the textures/shadows at the lower left. Nice job.
