blue sky, blue ocean, and some rocks. There is nothing of interest in the photo to look at. Also you do not know the scale. It might be big, it might be small.
Next time try to find somthing interesting in the landscape to put in the shot

Macario ... easy tiger ... easy

I think the biggest problem is that your foreground is completely overcome by shadows ... a visible foreground might of brought some interest in your image.

Other than that, is a very nicely framed picture, ~~with straight horizon~~ - not really

.
I like how you have the rocky portion between your foreground and horizon line.

The only thing missing is a subject, something to focus on. My guess is that your attention was more on the waves that are breaking against the rocky shore. Maybe a bigger wave with more splash and more light on your rocks would sparkle some more interest from some ...

Don't get discouraged ... keep on trying

That's what I wrote, next time try to put something interesting in the shot, now it is very empty. and btw, horizon is not straight, it is tilted to the right slightly

Diplomacy brother ... don't scare them off

A "why" and "how" is always nice to say.

As for the horizon line, you are right ... don't know why I was thinking is straight

I agree that there is not really much of interest, and a big plain sky. I also knocked off a couple points for crooked horizon.

I'm guessing Macario may not speak English as a first language, so some lack of nuance and subtlety could be understandable :-)
