A really pretty scene, on what looks like a nice day. I like the layers in the hills, they give the image a good sense of depth. I'm wondering if it's maybe a tad warm, the blues in the sky have an orange/brown hue. Maybe try pulling a grad down in lightroom and cooling the temp down on the sky to see how it looks?

I'm chuffed you got such nice conditions after waiting so long to visit. You've caught a stonker of a sunset. The reflections in the wet sand are beautiful, and the whole image is composed with consideration. You've processed it nicely too, keeping the rocks in silhouette has largely eliminated any haloing around the edges.

This shot has plenty of potential, I'd maybe make a couple of small tweaks though. First, you need to ensure that you have a level horizon when shooting water, it makes a huge difference to the look of the image. The second point is just a suggestion but personally I'd have crouched down a bit more to emphasise the reflections in the wet sand!
This is a super view, the colours in the flowers are beautiful and that backdrop is something special. I like the winding path through the foreground and that little wispy cloud balances the sky nicely. Be careful using a polariser with bright blue skies and reasonably wide angled lenses as it can create a dark spot where the polarising effect is strongest. Lovely shot overall :)
