That's probably because thinks are out of scale already. The slope of the
shore, the size of the waves, the amount of fog and the shape of the
mountains don't fit together. To me, that is.

These Mountains tell me that they are big. Those waves suggest that the
mountains can't be higher than some 10 or 20 meters. That is doubled by the
steepness of the shore. But if this is true, the sea can't be very big, and
should be filled with vegetation. The camera position suggest that it is at
about eye-level, but if this is right, why can I look over those giant
mountains? They can't be that far away- there is to little water to the
shore. And if they are not that giant - what happened to them that they have
these pronounced features?

My suggestion would be to round the mountains and make them smoother. Drop
the waves for the moment and decide what scale you want to use. And think
about the message you want to tell. Do you want to show some nice landscape?
Which one? A rocky one? Which height? Why is there that special vegetation -
or why not?

I may be totally wrong with all this. But perhaps I'm not.
