Cool photo, I don't know if a selective desaturation would have helped to possibly focus the eye more on the island and help draw it out from the busy background.

Sorry - the pic is ok, but I'm hard on "Broken Dreams" or "Broken Spirits" unless they are much more direct or literal.

I find the background fairly distracting in this photo. Perhaps if the photo was taken from a different vantage point to avoid the busy background?

That's so good, really excellent shot yet it relies too much on the title and I'm afraid it doesn't fit the challenge without it... sorry.
