The magenta color is too much and is showing on the sea.

Too much pink and violet hue distracts me from an otherwise greatly composed photo.

Great composition. I would have given this a higher score but the pink and violet hues appear overdone. It took away the 'natural' look of the image.

hmmm. Could the tree have been un-pinked?

Excellent light, good depth of field and exposure. Very pleasing image but frankly I can't help wishing for more. In a perfect, ideal world the tip of the outcrop wouldn't be clipped at the right-hand side of the frame and the top of the cypress would be below the line where the sea and the distant land meets (I've heard of some very determined landscape photographers who carry a ladder wherever they go in case they need a higher point of view. I should try that some time too). At first, I was somewhat bothered by the treetops sticking into the frame from the bottom but now I don't really mind them. In short, the image is getting quite close to perfection but needs just a few more steps to reach it.

Familiar scene to Californians. It just doesn't stand out here

I like this, portrait orientation works well on this subject.
