Great location for a picture! Agreeing with the others, I would have moved to the right a little to get more of the water and the ends of the lines of rocks. Focusing on the distant water and the rocks and leaving the frame of the hole in the cliff out of focus and without the flowers (too much in the picture) would have made this better.

To add another suggestion, try playing around with your aperture to see what the results are. I shoot 80% of my images in aperture priority mode so that I can control my depth of field. It might have been possible to get the foreground AND the background in focus by changing the aperture to something like f/13 or even f/22. This would have the effect of slowing your shutter speed however, which would require the use of a tripod to keep the image sharp.

Gorgeous! I like how the subject is what's out of focus. The in-focus flowers are very pretty. Great work!

Super subject and composition. Focus seems to be on foreground, rather than on the rocks in the waves.

If backround was in focus the photo would be a 9

I would've prefered the sea to be focused.
It still looks beautiful, none the less.

The frame is more in focus than the subject

I might have prefered having the background in focus and moving the camera to the right so we see the focal point that the lines of rocks are pointing to in shot, or nearer to being in shot - but still a great picture.

The frame is more in focus and also exposed better than the subject, it should be the other way around.

I wish you would focus on background :/

Maybe focus on background would look even better

The photo has a great frame, but it lacks a distinct subject.

Fits challenge well,the sharpnes of the fore ground,compared with the haze of the back ground works well...
