You've really got the tones down right for most of the picture! Since the sky is that of sunset/sunrise, it would make sense that the sand is darker as well (just something I noticed because I've been wanting to improve my own colour tones ) The detailing of the palm trees is nicely done and I can see each stroke clearly due to the trees' contrast against the lighter sky. You've also captured the water reflections and made this piece more realistic
I think the warm colours could be expanded a bit more because right now those colours are very concentrated near the bottom and some parts of the sky seem to suddenly change into a different colour. Maybe a brighter yellow could also be used since it's kind of a mustard colour right now and doesn't seem to blend well with the orange (though I don't know if it's because colour was lost through scanning/photographing).
Well, that's my input for this piece, so well done!

Thank you for the critique. You have highlighted many things which I will take in to account in my future work. p.s I messed the sun up , it should have looked more like this; [link]

*nods* that is what the effort to create art can do for you, it heightens the senses.
