There are a few things I can suggest for this photo. First, the model is the same color as every thing else in the photo. She doesn't really stand out. Maybe this was intended, but I feel that the model should have worn different colors to make her stand out. Second, your model seems blurry. You could try using a faster shutter with a higher ISO to clear this up. Third, the background is very unappealing and bland. The sky is so cloudy and dark that it blends in with the water to the point that one almost can't tell where one stops and the other starts. The lack of contrast is a theme in this photo. Not sure if that was your intention.

She's looking on the sea and keeping in hand blue umbrella, I like this theme. Well composed photo. Even if the horizont level there is going to the left, this is different matter, easy to correct. Well seen and composed photo. Thank you for sharing. Regards, Michal.

a Very simple shot, but also beautiful and well done. Good lighting for colours and atmosphere. The panoramic view helps for the fine composition. Well photographed.

not bad, maybe a bit more space toward the bottom but you captures the blue mood very well, and of course the empty sea lends the story well.

Thanks a lot Sebastian. I could take more from the bottom, because the handrail would be in the shot. thanks for the critique :)
