Post by: luxborealis on September 02, 2014, 07:45:53 pm: This photo has some wonderful elements working to its advantage, particularly the long exposure and the "ghosting" of the water over the rocks in the mid ground.

I do see, however, two competing photographs that turn this into a bit if a back-and-forth tennis match (or I've watched too much of the US Open). There is detail on the left and the right with a swath of "empty" water and sand I between disrupting the natural flow of the photograph.

The foreground rocks on the left could play a more significant role in a similar composition shot from slightly to the left.their bright greens demand a closer look. The beautiful rocks in the upper right could also be a photo in itself.

I can see the two "sides" of the image mentioned by Terry but I think that the small rocks help to mitigate the issue. You might not have the luxury to reshot but this place a lot of potential.
Good job.
