Hi,

Firstly, you have a slopping horizon,

Secondly, I think it is oversaturated,

and thirdly, what could this image be used for? How is it appealing? What does the picture actually show?

Remember, this picture is intended for commercial use.

Personally, I don't think is has much commercial value, and besides, there are a ton of beach photos!

Yours has to be something unique and special to make it stand out from the crowd - or in this case, pictures!
