Looks underexposed and the horizon may be bit off. I suspect you had difficult lighting circumstances to work with here.

Overall, it has a good composition, but the focus feels a bit soft and the bw is a bit drab. maybe a bit of contrast to really differentiate between the existing textures.

nice enough photo, but i feel the processing needs work. as is, it feels a bit overdone in some areas and too muted in others.

AH - Rio!
The composition is great, but overall very flat. (lacking contrast, pure whites & pure blacks)

I'd love to get hold of the original and see what can come of some aggressive post-processing, especially with that stunning sky!

I like this shot but I think some adjustments could have been made to give it better contrast. The photo seems a little flat. I like all the lines and curves in it.

Very nice point of view here with the sweep of the beach. You might try adding contrast or perhaps just lightening your whites a bit.

the tones in this image seem just a little "muddy" to me. the landscape looks remarkable!

nice subject, but the contrast is too low, and i would prefer to see this in color

Maybe the dullness was your intention, but I think this needs more contrast (bring up the whites).

Can't quite figure out why you wanted to take a nice beach and make it look dull, dreary, grey and uninteresting.

Nice B&W here...

Not much to focus on, needs more contrast work to pull of in B7W

Nice sweep of coastline leading the eye through the photo. Great clouds and nice rocky foreground. A lot going on here, but it looses impact because there is such a lack of contrast.

I think color for is a better choise for this photo - 5

not enough contrast, just looks gloomy and dull

Image is flat and dull, too dark. Needs to be brightened up and more contrast as well.

Could of been a great pic with a lil more contrast
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Like the composition and clarity. It is fairly flat and needs some PS work to really make the potential of this shot work for it.
