Woderfull picture, indeed. Great capture, great timing, great colors, too. However, I would have prefered it to be a little wider (panoramic), thus giving it a bit more effect. Also, it may be this monitor that is not calibrated, but I think your balcks aren't that black, which takes a little away from the overall greatness of this photo. Again, great timing! I envy you ;)

@The Obvious: Thanks for the detailed constructive comments.
I was using a telezoom at around 200mm hence the lack of a panoramic wideness. Will try a wide-angle the next time.
The point about the blackness is also well taken. In trying to concentrate on the optimal for the rays effect, I had not attended to this aspect. Will do some selective PS work.

So lucky for you to have seen that kind of sunset. :) Amazing picture. Wide angle lens would have added a lot, but its still a beautiful shot. :)

@Shrig: Thanks, shrig.
Yes, I was lucky to have read the guide book on the famous Cliffs of Moher which advised going when the sun was beginning to set, as we only had one day in this area.

Wow. I have seen (and taken) some dramatic pictures of the Cliffs of Moher, but that one really takes the prize!
