Greetings from the Critique Club

First Impressions:

Gorgeous scene with a nice soft feel that makes me want to go there.

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):

A very well composed shot. You placed the objects in pleasing locations and somehow got the bird to stand on a perfect focal point ☺

The color is serene, excellent choice shooting this at dusk, or is it dawn? The soft pastel colors really work well in this shot and just gives it an overall peaceful feeling. As far as the noise in the sky, which some commented about, I don’t really feel it is a problem in this particular shot and if anything adds to it. I am guessing the noise is from a slower shutter speed to blur the water, good choice imho.

Challenge:

Definitely meets the challenge in multiple ways.

Artistic/Emotion:

This is a beautiful artistic shot that just makes me feel happy.

Summary:

Excellent finish and great score, you probably got docked a few points by people who want rich vibrant photos but your comments showed that you definitely reached a select target audience that really appreciated this shot. Keep up the excellent work. You have a great eye and know how to use your camera.

I like this. A little dark though. Is this Pfeiffer Beach?

Nice photo, good composition. It's a bit dark for my tastes and there's some grain in the sky. I also see several dust spots, you can clone them out in basic.
