There is a halo that surrounds the top of the bottle. The premise is solid, but the composition and editing leave something to be desired. There is little sense of the greater scene, and things are very flat and lacking the oft scene sunset on beaches. This is not a pre-requisite, but it would improve this by adding some color and interest to the lighting.

I tried this exact concept with my pic. I never submitted it in the end. Yours is much better than mine!

I like this! Maybe it's not super spectacular, but it meets challenge well and sure makes me want to jump in the sea.

My mom used to have these in her garden. She called them cosmos. Haven`t seen them in a long time. Very nice uplifting photo.
