A very nice composition, Romy. The step down of the wall is great. In the "about" you speak about how warm the water is here compared to further south, but I don't feel the heat. At least on my screen the colors seem muted. Not what I would expect in a hot area. I think enhancing the contrast and brightness would go a long way to bringing about more a feeling of heat while still being true to the title. My own personal taste finds the simplicity of the lines of the wall, bench, horizon, and shadows somewhat abused by the small, rather indistinct boat. I've appended a rough example of what I think would be a nice solution.

Edgar, I think your idea is quite good. The composition is very nice. There are a few things that would enhance this photo to my mind.
' One is the composition. From your title I gather that this is about you and one other person. It might be nice to crop the photo in such a way as to include the flower and only one "star". This would make a more intimate scene.
' My personal taste would have more saturation and contrast to the flower. At least on my screen the appearance is dull.
' Finally, I think the green stem is fine but that its impact should be reduced by darkening it a bit.
' I've included a rough idea of what I mean.
So, I think a little more work would produce a photo with more dramatic impact and intimacy. But all this is just my opinion. It is a very nice photo.

A surreal scene, Andrea. It feels like the ocean on a planet in another solar system. The subtle reflections in the foreground of the colors of the sky is terrific. Really nice!
Best,
Steve
