Comment by focus:
I like the way you angled this shot. I looked long and hard for the footsteps left behind from setting up the props. How did you do that?

Consider a title like "Pure Opportunity" to convey the same idea but not limit the viewers imagination (maybe they remember tidepools rather than castles and shells.)

very nice :) I love the exposure control on this photo. This must be a very early morning photo... the long shadows work well here... I also love the camera tilt. Some people are afraid to do this. I think it adds a great impact sometimes... great shot! = 9 - jmsetzler

I like the contrast on the rocks in this shot, and the bucket is a nice touch.
The angle is intentional, a choice you made, and maybe you love it. I can't decide. The banding in the upper left corner is unfortunate. I wonder if not compressing so much would have fixed this. Your file size would have been allowed at up to 1/3 larger. Still, the photo appeals to me overall. 6, just-married

The horizon seems a little sloped :) (yes, I'm kidding)... Excellent shot! Would have been drop dead fantastic if the sky had co-operated more :)

I'm not sure that tilting the image adds anything here. I think this could have been a really great shot if it had been a closeup of the bucket/shovel with the details and shadows in the sand.
