Very subtle colours scheme. I like the details and deep DOF. Interesting pattern made by the water on the sand. Looks like the pot was really thrown out by the sea. Bumping up to 9.
I love the blues. For such lackluster lighting, you did a great job. It fits the challenge and is a solid photo. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about the centered composition of the "hidden treasure", but I'm not sure if I would have composed it any other way myself. :-) I give it a solid 7.
Now THIS is how to meet the challenge with a landscape shot. Nicely thought out and shot. Only nit (not affecting my score) is the too thick border top and bottom, I would have cut the top one in half at least and probably trimmed the bottom as well. 9 and expect this to ribbon.
