I like the simplicity of you composition. The wide view to the horizon is intriguing. The red rock formations are especial impressive among the aquarell colors of beach and sky. The rock formations demand attention and draw our eyes into the painting. The contrast of strong dark shadows on the red rocks emphasizes the formation. The composition is balanced, although, the red spot at the frame on the left is distracting in my opinion. I think you could just over-paint it with the colors of sand and beach.

This is a pretty image. I like how you have created and designed the rock formations. You have shown great patience and restraint by keeping your detail minimal. I struggle and tend to over do at times. Kudos to you.
Good luck in the contest.

A lovely light filled sunrise painting full of intense sun glow on the cliff face, rocks and water. Beautifully composed. Nice shading and light. Great contest entry, all the best!

This is a beautiful scene, simple yet very effective, I like the pastel tones in the sky with just that bit of blue running along the top toward the right, the pale pink and yellow, the water is reflecting the tones, the rich, red toned rocks reflecting the light and adding texture to this scene as well as giving the eyes a place to stop between the foreground and the sky, there is a nice misty feeling in the air. This is well created , beautifully arranged and presented!
