There is lots to like about this image and I'd have been proud to have taken it, but.... I think there is a little too much foreground and it dominates the image too mich for me. I'd be tempted tp crop a small amount from the bottom to remove the second rail (or whatever it is) This would preserve the strong leading lines in the shot, but lessen the foreground impact.

I first thought the same thing stubbsy, however after a few minutes, I like it the way it is.

Why? Well, this beach is commercial, commercial, commercial. Its not overly picturesque. So by having the subject, or impact in the foreground, it nicely leads the eye away from the hotels neon lights, enjoying the soft water, and peaceful colors.

Also, the framing is well done including the second water break (concrete thing).

thanks for the critiques.

i wanted to stay away from a traditional waikiki at night shot. i chose this crop b/c of the 30 second exposure making the water look abnormally calm. so the lines to the city plus the blurred water were my highlights of the shot, even thouhg the photo is all about the city skyline.

Lovely colours. I find the framing works well.
