I like the colours but there is way to much lost detail in the foreground.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Excellenty done! I love the colors in this image. The blues really tie the image together, and the chairs really pop.

Brightness and contrast are very good.

Focus is very good. Nice sharp photo.

I wish this were an advanced editing challenge, cloning out the white tower would be helpful.

The biggest problem I see is that you have two major elements fighting. I like the contrast of the regimentaion "everybody get in line" of the resort, and the free form of nature behind it. But you have two major leading lines fighting to the death here. The chairs and the wall lead the eye towards the left of the frame. The tower grabs the eye then the patterns on the beach and the vegetaion try to make the eye go to the top of the frame. At this point the pop of the chairs hurts the picture as they try to pull the eye back.

This winds up being really two pictures in one, eternally fighting for attention.

Comment by tcc:
Why? A tourist resort blemishing a vulnerable dune landscape - not my idea of success. An empty pool and a row of empty deck chairs - hardly what the hotel management would consider a success. Ah, I know, from the tourist's point of view - being out before the German visitors have reserved all the chairs must feel like a success...;)
There is not much elevating the image above an average snap shot, I'm afraid.
