Ocean´s viewby

Hello Alexis.
You've take a beautiful photograph, but you have to keep an eye on your horizon and keep it leveled out.
Is the concrete Pier your leading line? Is it leading out to the Sailboats? Or are the Sailboats leading out to the Pier? You have to ask yourself this question, and perhaps move your camera around to get the shot that is intended. I'm not sure at this time that your photograph would really fit into the Challenge of Leading Lines.
Also, with the sailboats, the are moving around this area all the time, but perhaps you could have waited 5 minutes until that larger boat beyond the concrete breakwater/pier moved out of your way before taking your shot?
I believe your composition is well enough using the rule of 3rds, but I would have told that closest sailboat (to shore) to move further to the right before taking the picture :}(this is my sense of humor)
Photo is sharp at the flowers and grass and then fades out just past the 1st sailboat. . .
Colours of the flowers and grass are nice and rich
I like the ocean blue, but think I may have added a bit of blue and
may have done something with the sky - it seems just a bit too bright?
Finally: I like your work. It's a lovely photograph. You've used some imagination in obtaining this shot. Keep up the good work and continue doing what you're doing, one day everything is going to come together just fine and you'll start to receive 10's! !
Regards,
