Default One of my favorite places...

I took this photo at one of my favorite places to be. I want general opinions of it, but for specific questions:

- Is the photo balanced enough?
- Do the colors blend together too much?

From Ocean Park and Camp Elllis


Model: NIKON D50
Exposure: 1/200 sec
Aperture: 5.6
Focal Length: 90mm
Flash Used: No

I would say the color is fine in this photo. There is however a lot of grain. Looks like grain from a high ISO? Using a tripod and a lower or your lowest ISO setting will resolve this if that is the case. Otherwise post process for noise reduction. Other then that I like your composition. Great photo and keep it up!

Nice composition. I agree with JMarro that a tripod would be handy. It would let you lower the ISO, and reduce camera shake at the same time; I wish the rocks were just a little bit sharper, and I think that is probably due to camera shake.

Also, this has nothing to do with this picture, but I can tell the sun is behind you, and this would make a great setting for a sunrise picture (I am assuming you took this at sunset). The rocks and water would make some interesting silhouettes and reflections with the sun in front of you...if your willing to get up that early.
