Very nice scene including the pier fence. Though it is more of a supporting element in the photo and not a feature element in my opinion, it does meet the challenge. You have done very well with the post processing capturing the texture in the boardwalk and the gloominess of the clouds as well as the color of the people present. It does lack interest due to the straight ahead, standing at normal height point of view. No real composition went into the making of the photo in my opinion thus prompting me to award an average score.
