This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the high horizon is nice, but the image lacks other composition.

color: the redundant color scheme throughout the entire photo give it a sense of lonliness, and as if your lost in the middle of nowhere.

contrast: nice, the bushes are set apart from the landscape very well, giving it more interest

focus: a good choice of general aperture for common focus throughout the entire shot

depth of field: as stated above, very well controlled and its enough, but not too much

lighting: normally not a fan of flat lighting such as this, i think it really adds to the bleakness of the shot.

other: interesting take on the challenge, i really enjoyed how much detail was to be found. the slight dusting of snow on the sand was a new sight for me, and i appreciate you sending this image for us to all see. Keep up the interesting work, i'll be looking forward to it.
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.

Distant subtle horizon haze, real, intriguing flat contrast - but for colour & texture. A great subject rendition of difficult uniform, even light.

slightly redundant...but still cool. Conflicting forces of Nature
