I noticed some chromatic aberation in the above, so I used the Lightroom 5 tool to remove it. Here is an updated version.

“Quaint” is the word that comes to mind when I look at this pleasant shot. Where was it taken?
There needs to be a single element in your foreground for your eye to either rest on or be lead into the background. One single rock? Interesting lines in a rock? A “shape” of water surrounded by rock(s)?
Using a long shutter speed using a tripod would have made the water soft too. And if the water was moving in the pools, than you could get some interesting swirling effects.
I think the attached picture exemplifies these two concepts.

Thank you, James. Composition is (generally) my weakest spot, so I have much to learn there. I see what you mean. Unfortunately, the water was not moving in the pools. That would have been neat though!
I took this picture in Rye, NH. We generally go in the fall and winter after the crowds leave. It is a great way to avoid the worldly attire and people.
Though I don’t find myself close to the coast very often, I do enjoy it most during the colder months for the very same reason. Jesus prayed not that we should be taken out of the world, but that God would keep us from evil through sanctification . . . that we would be not of the world as Jesus himself was not of the world. Part of that sanctification is observed through that conscious choice of physical separation from locations where unnecessary temptation and distractions are common.
But on the other side of the coin I am challenged by folks like Ray Comfort who spread the Gospel fearlessly in the midst of indecent locatoins. They are overcomers, Christians strong in spirit, self-disciplined, with an inner fervor for truth. Like Jesus. And yet, Jesus, as human, needed times of rest away from distractions, and so thus we see in Him the perfect balance of “being in the world, yet not of it.” Hear ye Him.

I agree. Personally, I find Ray Comfort very inspiring.
