A nice clean composition. I made it even cleaner by removing the visitors.
There was also a terribad vignette in there, so I gently threw it out.

The famous James Bond Island, from The Man with the Golden Gun. Unfortunately, most of the photos that feature it are taken midday, resulting in harsh contrast and unpleasant glare. Even this one I chose is not that pleasant to look at, despite the nice composition and detail.
So I decided to tone things down with sky replacement. According to Google Maps, you can't really see either sunrise or sunset from this position, but you can still have the Belt of Venus there, and I went for that. The yellow hotspot on the islet shows that sun was already getting low behind and to the right of the camera, so it should be plausible.
