Fascinating water effects from the 1 second exposure.The haze aroung the big wave is particularly effective. I think that either the exposure, or more probably the scanning, might be slightly off? I loaded the image into the GIMP, and had a look at the level histogram - it's not evenly spread across the full range. (Not many dark values.) It's potentially a very good image indeed, and it might be worth a bit more work to try and get the best out of it.

I like the mist, teh mirror-like sand, and the swell. Very nice. What's teh scale here? How tall is that rock?

The Rock is at least 20 feet high and at leat 25 feet off the beach . I am on the beach using a zoom, at about 65 I think.

This reminds me of Homer's Odessey. OK, no need to ask why, creative shot, you succeeded re the watercolor.

I bet that this would look good on a large print and framed.

Great shot. Looks like the water is coming up from under the sand. Also the mist looks like clouds with a mountain behind it. Very well done.
