This is a typical Andaman Sea shot. The sort that holiday makers take. The colour is rather nice, soft and rich and the detail on the island and the boat are rendered clearly. However, you horizon (water line) is sloping badly and the cropping with the top of the island, just touching the frame feels very awkward, as is that little bit of another island showing on the left. Most of all, the two dominant masses, the rock and the boat are also in an uncomfortable, just-touching relationship. A higher PoV and a better crop would have helped by putting a little sea between them. The splash of red on the prow of the boat works very well as a lead in. But it's a bit too much like a tourist snapshot than a considered study. Strangely, the cliché ‘paradise’ has to come into every picture of our southern beaches. But your picture renders the beach view well. I have done a little workshop to show what I mean about the crop.
