Nicely captured and like how the wave divides the colours. The suba diver? or object on the bottom left is very distracting and wish it wasn't there as the composition is really good. Good Luck. 7.

You've got me wondering where that red comes from! Nice composition to this with the definitive separation and the people balanced on the diagonal.
