Greetings from the Critique Club!
Not a bad image but it looks like a snap, hastily shot and entered for the sake of having an entry in. Technically the composition is very safe, with the cabin being in the lower third, but otherwise it is under-exposed as opposed to being a true low-contrast shot (ie there should be no, or very little, black in the image). I would also like to see something with a pulse in this pic, beit a person sipping their morning coffee in their jammies on the deck, or a dog lounging around...something, anything, to draw our attention and provide a story.
Also, watch your work in the pp department...there is a gaping void of white on the left, and some on the right, where cloning could have filled in the missing areas.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if uncertain as to what a challenge calls for, especially in such a technical challenge, there is nothing wrong with going to google images with the challenge descrip and seeing what turns up!
Apologies if this is a bit harsh but sometimes it pays to be blunt.
Hope this helps, feel free to pm me,
