Magical light and the cliffs are beautiful but the water is a little too smooth for me. Maybe one pass too many of de-noise or some such filter? Over all it's a nice shot.

fantastic job; great shadows and wonderful "softening" of the water

Hi Dave, greetings from the Critique Club!

I really enjoyed your photo, and it's a shame that it got so few comments.

Composition
As I saw the picture more closely, I think I see the main issue: the angle and the trash can at the right bottom make it look like the photo was not planned, but more of an opportunity shot. The mixture between the white and all the colours is brilliant, and the bokeh on the back graffiti is very appealing.

Processing / technique
Good white balance, perfect contrast. It's soft though, because at the long end of 300mm and f/5.6 the sharpness will suffer a lot. Probably you could have stopped it down to f/9 and get a slower shutter speed, you still had some to spare.

Overall, a very appealing shot, lots of colours, and different from the others of the challenge.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao
