Thanks for the comments. I like when beaches have cliffs like this, I was looking at a photo at a bookstore that had something like this. As for contrast, I knew it wasn't really high contrasted because of the colors I used. I tried it out with a higher contrast, I liked it as well. But without the higher contrast, it looks a bit more relaxing, or something. Can't quite describe it.
Pretty trippy... interesting. I think the lack of contrast makes it a little flat though, and perhaps you could have done something to make the waves further away look more closely packed together, as they would appear in reality. Nice work.
