Picture is well composed but needs brightening a great deal. Far to dark, gives a confusing impression is it sunny? is it threatening?

The composition is great, I like the minimalism of just sea, two beds and a parasol. Want to take a seat! Have you used a polarizer on the sky? If so, I think the effect is quite nice, although dark. If not, lucky with the sky. The placing of the beds in a little diagonally position in the frame makes it nicer, also like the space you have left on the right side.

I agree with ^ the picture is quite dark, don't know what to think about the sky in another way as described before. Indeed the question is...was it treathening or was it sunny but with great clouds and is there a lot effect from a polarizer?

Also would have loved the sea somewhat brighter.

Thanks for sharing!
