Greetings from the Critique Club!
Nice dynamic shot of waves crashing up against the lighthouses, love the railing/walkway? along the top of the breakwater, spray everywhere, great green tones there in the waves like jade and peridot. The green contrasts perfectly with the red of the buildings and both colours echo the relative monochrome of the sky. I'm also a fan of the low pov which looks well-used here. I might have wanted to give it a little hit of contrast and saturation to bring out those hues some more, but that's my opinion.
But I do find the oof rocks in the foreground do suck some of the great energy out of this otherwise nicely focused, sharp image. Obviously you don't want to risk getting caught by those waves, but had there been a way to skirt around them for a less-obstructed view - or just managed to raise your pov a bit to avoid the bulk of them - I think this pic would have easily made the top ten. If they were completely unavoidable you could have tried focus stacking and taken a shot of only the rocks, in focus. But if you shot handheld, as your settings seem to indicate, that would be tough to accomplish.
Hey, it only just finished out of the TT and has two faves, so nothing to sneeze at there!
Hope this has been useful to you, feel free to PM me with any questions.
