Nice shot. I love the "No lifeguard on duty" sign, it really adds to the photo and enhances the mood and atmosphere. Also, I like that the tower isn't completely sillhouetted against the sunset - there's a healthy amount of detail present. Great job.

Edit: How about burning in the sky and corners of the sand via a gradient overlay to contain the image more?

Edit 2: I think this could be a very interesting portraiture study if you had someone sit up in the tower. That would have a whole different feel to it though and would evoke totally different emotions.

Lovely choice of subject and great composition with that blurred line of grass in the distance. Doesn't seem sharp enough in the foreground to me...
