Comment by BHuseman:
I don't like the centered composition here. Both in the tree being in the center and the horizon being centered. 5

Not sure that the palm tree adds to the photo here... Or perhaps have it more to the right as something to frame the shot.

Comment by xodiak:
I always hesitate making comments about framing because I don't know what was on either side of the subject but having the palm dead center in the shot is a killer to me. I'm a pretty avid believer in the rule of thirds. Also, if you had one handy, a polarizer (or good polarized sun glasses for a point and shoot) would have made the sky and sea much richer. Still, it's a nice shot.

The tree seems a little soft

Comment by UNTITLED:
The light is very nice, but the palm tree is dead center and really stops the eye dead in its tracks. Placing the tree towards the side would help make the photo more dynamic, and it would also give you more room for that great shoreline to the left.

Sorry, but the sea seems to be incidental to this shot. It forms a nice background for the palm tree.
