Nice exposure and colors. That's a beautiful stretch of coast.

In the composition, I have this same problem with Big Sur: it's so beautiful that you try to just capture a big scene. I'm not sure what element you were interested in. The flowers are nice, but the two in the right center foreground are distracting. The slope is not that interesting and your shooting angle doesn't make it appear dramatic. The ocean is nice, but fuzzy. It doesn't quite evoke the feelings of granduer and openness that I feel in the Big Sur area.

Thanks for posting the image; it does evoke a quite nice warm feeling out here in chilly New England!
