At took this picture at the Beach here in Toronto. I t started to rain while we were on our way to the Beach and since it was still raining a bit when we arrived there, we almost turned right around to go home. We decided to stay, though, and luckily for us, the sun came out--and, as it was by then quite late in the day, the light turned beautiful. The little house on stilts is, of course, the lifeguard station.

The composition is fine on this. May be a tad tight on the left curve nearly bumping the left side of the frame. From the POV you chose the horizon is nearly centered. A lower profile on this would be interesting.
This photo appears to be quite natural, which is fine overall for the family album of a vacation destination, etc... A little more tweaking in post-processing would elevate this for the DPC voters IMO. After the challenge is over, post this image in a forum for feedback, suggestions, ideas, and see what you get. You'll be amazed by the editing choices and results others' may bring to this.
All JMO of course. :-) Good luck in the challenge.
a little more contrast would help this pop more, because its a little flat in lighting (though i doubt you can control that) i do like the leading line of the shoreline
