 I was told it looks like a naked women on the rocks-- I figured she must have been forced ashore from a pirate ship.

An underrated shot! But if that's a naked woman on the rocks, perhaps that's why you ended up next to the 126th place shot? ;) Very nice feel to this, both perspective and composition.

Colorful and nice! In a way I can see a line dividing the scene diagonal. Interesting.

I like the warm colors and the way you brought out the colors of the pebbles.

the light on the rocks, the driftwood strewn on the beach, the angles of the rock shelf - all perfect for a castaway beach

i especially like how the light yellowish orange knot on the driftwood appears to balance and mirror the sun

Great capture. I like the detail in the rocks and the driftwood. The colors are nicely saturated without going overboard. The image is a bit dark on the right hand side and I am wondering if this is due to some vignetting. (intentional or not I can't tell)
