Nice photo. I like the way the sun is reflected on the wet sand.

I love this scene, and it needs the flowers as a focal point, but for me - the flowers were left too brightly and deeply saturated. It is too jarring of a juxtaposition for my feelings towards the setting.

I dont know how many sunsets or sunrises I have seen in pictures and still they wow me still most of the time.
Offcourse people will say that it is easy to make a sunset or sunrise look good because of all the nice colors that are just there (and that's true)
However, you managed to capture this very well, the sea is not underexposed, the reflections on the wet sand work very well.
I rate pictures from 5->10 (never under 5) but you are a 10, dont mind what others say or think or vote, this is pretty and fits the challenge well.

Interesting image, the desaturation creates the mood while the bursting colors of the flowers draws attention to the frontal plane.

I think that the position of the gull goes a long way to making this very centered, symetrical composition work. On the downside, the color of the sky above the clouds looks unatural to me. ....7....

If this shot had an interesting foreground object it would probably be amazing. Good detail and color, but lacking something compositionally.
