The composition does not work for me. The road does not lead into the image, more like leading past. The rocks on the left are interesting which is what first caught my eye, interesting patterns, very strong. But the rocks quickly become a barrier.
Exposure has been handled well.
Well, it has potential, everything is sharp and I like the conversion. Really the only thing I would say is that there's maybe a bit too much rock and not enough of the bay. If it were me I would have cropped or composed to where the rock meets the top of the frame.
Good first attempt though.

Yep, thats what I was thinking. The rock has a nice texture but now the path takes your eye round to the bay. With the right sky it would make a good long exposure sunrise/set shot.

I agree with the past comments, with the edit it is a far better image, however the first one has it's qualities without a doubt. The rocks are very sharp and very intense in the first image, which is countered very well in the second image. Well Done Amigo
