Blue and white for sure, wish you got in a bit closer to the umbrella as the tents are not that attractive, voted earlier.

Actually when I think about it, a shot of the umbrella and the ocean in the background would've looked better IMHO.

Already voted, commenting now. In principle, this is outstanding and I gave you a good mark, but... At the same time there are flaws to the composition that irk me, although I recognize I'm kind of picky about these things. Still, take a journey through my eyes...

See how the top lines of the cabanas are almost perfectly lined up with the horizon? and how the the bottom fringe of the umbrella is almost touching the waterline? See how the bottoms of the cabanas are *almost* present but leaking out in the foreground?

Now imagine lowering the camera position perhaps a foot and moving back perhaps 2 feet; see how now the Cabana tops might bump above the horizon and the umbrella might be better framed against the water itself? And, arguably, you'd have a more interesting foreground with a thin strip of sand all the way across, not sure about that.

Finally, there are several unidentifiable objects out on the water and cut off by the left cabana; those might be eclipsed in the new framing, or they could easily be cloned out. And, arguably, in such a balanced, symmetrical composition, the channel-marker pole might better be cloned out.

But remember, I do LIKE the picture and gave it an 8. I just see so much more potential in sorting the details :-)

May I please come visit? Our weather is headed toward winter and the older I get the more my body aches. Beautiful composition nice clean shot.
