This looks like Hawaii, but I am probably dreadfully wrong =). Would like to the rest of the shadow in the shot.

good pic, but would be great if you could've excluded more of that tree on the right and included more of the palm and its shadow.

Nice natural photo, I like the shadow created by the palm and the white of the breakers. It would have been nice to change the angle of the photo to isolate the palm and move the other tree out of the background.

Great lighting. The age of the hands give it a lot of character.

Hi greetings from the CC, the horizon seems a bit crooked, I am not sure if I like the perspective here, with the rocks and all, I think I would like to see more of the pier. Something to keep in mind is that the horizon is generally more interesting when it is not dead center. I find the elements of your shot pull at me, the rocks to the bottom the pier to the left and yet I dont really have a focal point. The blues are really nice however, and the grey tones in the rock. Hope that helps a little

I know it's B&W for the challenge, but if you get the chance to display this in color, I'd love to see it.. nice shot!

like the concept but for the sake of clarity and more drama and emotional appeal would try and focus on only one or two elements, two hands on one bowl or just a hand offering an item close up. remember when you chose this type of shot you are telling a story and trying to evoke emotion. this a bit tocluttered and the background being so in focus makes the foreground too confusing need a bit of separation like use of lighting or shorter depth of field
