When I scrolled down to see that little surprise, it was wonderful! Nice work.

Love the composition, really well done. Seems a little dull/washed out, more contrast might help, or if you had used a polarizing filter when taking the photo.

Nice way to break up the forever green.

Might have moved the shoreline up in the composition a little to use the rule of thirds.

Wonderful composition, the color of the contrasting boat is great. Regarding the plentiful green, I wish the image had a little more depth to the mountainside, maybe a bump in contrast or curves in post-processing would be successful.

Lovely shot. Makes me want to be out there. Sunny day, good wind chop, and gorgeus amount of trees to stare at. Beauty.

great natural wall, but it's a little bit too dark...

I love the framing of this photo, the one thing I would touch up to make this look real nice is the saturation of the colors.

Excellent idea! I like how the color of the sails contrast with the background. But tweaking the contrast a bit more would've made the sailboat pop out of the background even more...it would be more eyecatching.

Super idea and I love the composition. Looks a bit washed out though.

Gorgeous shot with outstanding composition. It seems just a bit overexposed, so you might want to make one of those dark spots on the shore line your black spot. Otherwise, really great photo!

I would have like the bottom of the image to be slightly bigger in size, re the thirds rule.....
