Like your idea I think that there would be more shadow on the back side of the boat. Also it might be cool of the light went behind the rock that's in front of the boat. Good luck.

Perspective on lighthouse is not right for an image like this. Also, the base of the lighthouse is transparent.

The unicorn doesn't blend in. Good try though.

I would suggest getting rid of the outer glow on the horse. Shadows work wonders.
Edit: Looks good

Good work with your entry. I think I agree with oziipop that another point of focus would have enhanced your scene. I'm wondering too about the angle / perspective of the reflection but think you've done a very nice job. Good Luck.

I think some birds flying out of the top right side of hut would finish it off nicely

I'd like to see a high res and a basic step by step would also help you receive any informed critique based on your own processes.

However I have a few suggestions:

I would be inclined to extend the streaks of light out of the image (at the moment they look to be cut off)

Drop the reflection of the storage hut down a nudge or two and mask off where the bushes are in the reflection, to me it seems as though the storage hut is to noticeable in the reflection where it is meant to be hidden behind the bushes.... the water line area of the reflection would be darker, judging by your overall lighting.

lastly it could benefit from a foreground element to frame and lead the eye into your scene.....

Nicely done. It's usually better to include a hi res version as well. GL author.
