Thanks for all your comments. The foreground was a conscious effort to include, because a similar scene is in Beaches, with the wooden lounge chairs.
The grain? Hmmmmm I don't see it at all. But thanks for letting me know.
The people are a woman and girl....strangers to me.

Greetings from the Critique Club --

This is an excellent shot for this challenge. Very colorful and well-framed.

My only comment would be about the focus. It seems a little soft, which could have been your intention. With so many lines and stripes in the photo, sharpness is very important.

Congrats on a great entry and a great score.

Clever use of right angles with the armadillo turning the corner. Light seems very harsh and bright here.

Looks like 2 guys out there. The picture is a little grainy too down to where the water meets the sand.

Comment by Ivar:
Pretty good picture. I am going to give it a five though. The challenge states that a right angle(s) should produce the strength of the picture. My focus constantly goes to the animal there in the picture.

Overexposed shot. Was the picture taken on autoexposure. If not was a very high ISO used. Maybe the it was noon and the sun was right above.Composition is very good. One can see the whole 'dillo and the right angles of the building and the floor. Might look pretty good in B&W

I like it!!! Too bad you couldn't position (somehow) the far end of the track so it appears to be coming from the Earth.
