Ruud, what a wonderful black & white image. I got a little confused I thought the skinny little white thing in the lower left was one of the two windmills the “new” one, twenty-first century units for homes. English language and American speed reading it’s a beach ;-0.
Anyhow great tones and textures and contrast between the clouds and trees. The small white rectangle in lower left is way too white possibly the whitest in the whole image if not a very close second to the brightest parts of the clouds. Maybe tone it down a shade or two ?
Actually looking closer the edge of the vertical windmill blade is whiter even bright than clouds which is fine that it’s a big part of your composition and where you want the viewer’s eye to go.

I just noticed and suggest look at a thumbnail view you'll see what I mean. Peace and Love
Keep Photographing !

Thanks Paul for your constructive comments! Good idea to tone down the white bits that are not the subject.

Just the little rectangle one lower left. Look at a thumbnail of your image. This is a 4 star image not 2 stars. Cheers :-)
