This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: very unique. The mirror is positioned just perfectly to align the stone walk.
color: The pop of blue really adds interest to the photo, along with the differently colored boats in the background
contrast: nicely conrolled here, except a suggestion would be to increase it in the sky to make it bolder.
focus: great focus, everything can be seen clearly, from the background boats to the little sand grains.
depth of field: excellent choice on f8, it really makes everything tack sharp and interesting from front to back
lighting: beautiful light, not too overpowering, but enough to highlight everything in the image with a nice soft light
other: this image really made me take a double take. i love the creativeness, its really unique to see something like this. Only thing i can see to be improved is the rocks in the reflection have a slight halo around them, possibly due to oversharpening. but its minor and not a big distraction. Keep using these creative eyes of yours, you'll go far. If you have any other questions or concerns, you can PM me anytime.

I like the right hand third of this. The blue wall and the blue boat really works well. It is a frame within a frame. As far as the whole picture, the juxtoposition of the left half and the right half does not work for me.
Smart composition depicting a dichotomy in multiple ways (Sea vs. Sky, Free vs. Grounded, Sand vs. Water, Far vs. Close, Blue vs. Orange to name the ones I could spot)
