*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that meets the challenge fully.

Its good to see that you have looked for and found a location to enhance the scene with the natural foliage which, of course, fulfils the challenge brief. The only problem is that the foreground frame dominates the scene to the extent that there is too little of the actual scene itself. Given the nature of the scene with the breaking wave I think we should get a full and clear view of both the lighthouse and the wave at least. The walkway looks like an interesting structure I wish we could see more of.

Your timing is good in capturing the breaking wave as you have. Assuming you were in aperture priority the chosen aperture/ISO combination has given you a working shutter speed that captures the action whilst allowing some motion too. The foreground is sufficiently soft to direct attention through to where you want it. The red of the lighthouse stands out very effectively too.

It's unfortunate you didn't receive any comments during the challenge, I hope this makes up for it, thanks for your entry, Sid.
