Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hmm thought I recognized that lighthouse ;-) Nice sharp punchy colours, though it's rather daring to have two red objects of the same hue in the pic as they're competing with each other for attention - my eyes are racing along the catwalk between the two going 'OOh! Aaah!' at each end, then back again. The crests of the waves are a little blown out, part of the problem with shooting tidal waters on a sunny day. Decent postcard-y shot.

More dof or a faster shutter speed might have helped a bit. Some would say to use an ND filter but then, you're shooting through another layer of glass, and it would be a shame to compromise the sharpness of that lens. Composition is straightforward but risks being cluttery with essentially two focal points at the right and left thirds. I'm npt super-crazy about the sandy shore as it's oof; focus stacking may be worth trying.

Hope this has been helpful

Susan
