I suspect this will get killed by the landscape heavy hitters. I have photographed this place before. The sky could have cooperated a bit better, but most of the week has been flat and gray.

This is performing much better than I anticipated. The first morning it was a 6.0 and took an uncharacteristic climb from there.

;-)
joking, this is a nice pic, only real detracting point in my opinion is the depth between left/right side of log for the water. As such, there is a lot of clutter just beneath the surface on the right that is not as noticable on the left given the extension of the beach.
Still a 6/10 though, very serene!
I like these kind of shots. Lighting is good. I really like how the textures are so coarse in the foreground and smooth and soft towards the background. It really leads you through the picture.
Very nice. Love the horizon line on the upper rule of thirds area. Harmoniously composed! The old pier posts provide exquisite leading lines, which take the viewer out to the tranquil sea. Exceptionally pleasant grain in the old wood, sand and pebbles. Perfectly level horizon. The sky and clouds are okay. I think the overall image needs one more element of interest. The leading lines of the old pier take the viewer out there and I find myself searching for "something".... a boat, an island, a light, a thunderstorm, a city skyline, etc. Technically, this is great, with clarity and excellent sharpness in the details. No detail lost in the shadows, nor the highlights. That said, it might be a bit subdued with regards to light. Yes, it's dusk (or dawn) twilight.... but, some dynamic light might have created shadows and highlights to naturally punch up the energy. For visual appeal, I have found my most successful landscape images to have a balance of red, green and blue colors. I mean the scene is what it is. But a green boat and some additional red tones in the sky would have balanced the dominant blue sea. I like your title. This is a very eye-pleasing image to view.
I cropped this on my screen with a piece of paper and like it better without the foreground. I think the horizon should be the subject with just the old pier pilings leading to it. Still a nice photo.
