Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Very nice photo of this day at the beach for father and son. Love the colors and capture. It is a strong photograph in of itself but for me the textural overlay is overbearing. Rather than support/project the mood of a time worn memory the texture overpowers the image with being in the forefront. I think it is especially overpowering with the 'pebble/ scattered stone' texture on the bottom half where the sand is. The 'cobblestone' bumpy feel of the stones is in direct conflict with the smoothness of the sand - if anything would complement the textural feel of sand it would be the 'grittiness' of noise or the possibly the texture you see in the sky (but only less). I think if you pulled back on the opacity of the texture to make it more subtle it would compliment the photo more rather than overpower it.
