Too much land for this challenge..? The weather has been terrible lately, not many chances to take a nice seascape shot. Tried something different...

No, this is not a lake :-) it's the narrow sound between Sweden and Denmark.

Very nice angles and POV...I like how you've placed the primary subject in the foreground . The grayish tones make it look a bit cold, yet the water still seems very inviting. Well done!
I like the composition very much. Not sure the selective desat was necessary, but that's your preference. Pity about the (boat?) on the horizon since I feel that it' doesn't add to the composition but distracts from it.
I like the simplicity of this photo. I think I would have cropped it just above the hand rail as I find the sky and object (near horizon)a bit distracting. Good Shot.
That looks like a lake to me, but I love the sat of red and the composition with the steps and the flip flops. No points off cause it might be an ocean setting I've never seen. Here, it's sand and waves. LOL 8
