the branches on the left are a bit distracting but great colors and sharpness

The brilliance of the sun is detracting from the pic.

seems a little cramped. i'm not sure where the added space should be. Maybe all the way around. great colors and movement though. 7

You'll probably have some people tell you that there's too much empty space on the left, or that you shouldn't use a centered composition, but I think that this is lovely.

Shouldn't this be turned vertical? It looks more like from the right left as it is currently oriented.

You might want to consider rotating this 90 degrees clockwise and cropping out the partial palm tree and some of the empty sky at the top. This would provide a strong leading line from the tree trunk and the top of the tree would be at the upper node of the rule of thirds. Otherwise, good focus and exposure and I like that the colors look natural and not super saturated. I'm going to give this a 6, as the flaws are easily fixable. You got the hard part right.
