Gritty sand, salty sea. Love the composition, the layers, the tones.

This is my type of shot- a painting's quality, salmon sun drenched stucco, foliage and wispy sky- the color blue is stellar; two or three areas of interest- even the low hanging dark clouds in the long distance appear to be water at first glance- and that makes it very interesting to the viewer.

That being said- when I rave about a shot- that sometimes does not bode well for the shooter, as I overlook some "traditional" aspects that voters seem to notice and penalize. But I go with feel over technicality any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Lovely colours but I'd like to see more detail of the actual memorial in the centre.

Very pretty scene, a good balance I think. The gate has cool patterns so the shot would have been Ok zoomed in on just that but the lovely blue sky and Autumn foliage to the side brings a bit more life. Nice job.
