Gorgeous, moody view! I love it as it is, and also think the top half of the image makes a fine pano scene in its own right.

Hi Jose! Man, the light in the background is really special. Love all the hues ranging from golden yellow to deep blue. The shadow lines are really nice as well. Personally, I might brighten the whole thing just the tiniest bit. While I like the subject matter of mountains, incredible light, and rocky coast, I do find the composition to be a bit too segmented for my tastes ... with the foreground sharply divided from the background. Perhaps there is no way of avoiding that unless you find a different spot with some different shapes in the cliffs.

Many thanks to all for the comments. Chris you are right. With more height this composition would be better avoiding this sharp division, but from this point this is imposible that you can see in the image below. Thanks for your time

Outstanding capture, composition and rendition!

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Love the duality, the lighting, and that big splash

Good golly, that's hot! I really, really love the scene here. Even if some might not care for the two distinct environments being abruptly split, it works perfectly for me. It's very similar to the shots in water with the lens splitting the surface. Anyway, as mentioned, the light on the mountains is nothing short of spectacular. The blending is seamless and natural. All in all, it's a real feast for the eyes. Great work, José!
