I like those footprints as if asking where are we going. The lighting is so good too.

Lovely contrast of light and colours with added character via the footprints.

The shading of they sky is absolutely incredible : Look at the top left corner and follow the color changing down to the down right corner along the sea : it’s impressive ! The sea has a great look too, because of this wonderful light going through the whole picture and light the rock in the foreground but not the pile of them in the background. Personally, I would have liked it a hint better without the footprints, but that’s just me and you can’t fly so it’s alright and your picture is still amazing.

Great colors, good composition. I like the footsteps on this lonely beach; they make a good subject.

This is just perfect. Everything is right. Vantage point, colors, composition, subject, focus, it’s just spot on! I LOVE this photograph.

You should have named the shot “Footprints” because to me; that is what has made this from ordinary an sunset beach shot to a story of life’s journey. That is what made this shot extraordinary. Absolutely beautiful!

great photo, my only nit - If you were open to editing in photoshop you could have cloned out the white specks on the beach and darkened the lareg rock on the left. Though seemingly a minor issue It will really strengthen the image.
