Anti tank blocks and a pillar remains scattered over Aberdeen north beach.

Technically this is a good image and well composed but apart from the historical component not particularly noteworthy.

If I may be so bold, if possible, I would try to reshoot this either early morning or a sunset with low directional light and at least some cloud in the sky.
The low directional light will at least accentuate the texture of the beach and concrete remnants of those fortifications and the cloud will give some interest value to the sky.

Black and white might give it more of an "edge". As well, making the pill box more prominent by moving a few metres closer, might help with the impact.

I felt the pill box was too small but it's a tricky balance.
