Centered.
Also, if I missed a spot/area, then that’s the price of free. lol

Nice shot!
I also tried to keep both colors and exposure as natural as possible.
I recovered a bit of detail in the dark areas while lowering the macro contrast, on the other side I searched for more detail in micro-contrast.
I decided to crop it, just a smitch, keeping that expressive empty space around the rocks.
I wanted to see if I could get the rock to look like it was standing alone in the ocean with a crop, then I just played with the colour a bit and tweaked the tone and contrast very little. A little diffuse and sharpen, some vignette and gd filter.
Nice capture.
The OP has received a wealth of DT examples to learn from, so I hope my play with RT won’t be too rude an intrusion.

Hello hello, first post on the forum! I will soon share an image of mine for you to play as well.
In the meantime I’ve tried this edit on this picture. I hope you’ll like it. I’ve edited with DT 5.0. I am still a newbie and I would appreciate feedbacks.
A bit late to the party, I also tried this photo

Thank you for doing RT conversions too! Looks good without using too many modules
