I like the idea of putting something on the foreground, but unfortunately it is not in focus and therefore distracting to me. I think a lower camera point, that piece of wood in focus and the beachline on one third of the image would make a cracking image.

The stump in the foreground is very distracting to a great photograph

A pity about the foreground - but I like it.

Good framing and composition. I'd maybe have not included the stump and made it more minimalist with the horison and women only?
Showing reality in Africa. A bit more contrast needed. Lake Malawi? Not sure about hills there. Maybe Lake Tanganyika (Tanzania).

I'm getting tired of commenting, but I don't wanna leave out any that I thik are good, would like to see it with the stump in focus to compare, might lose some depth.
