Phew, seems like my internet is working for a few moments, so I'll quickly write your critique Not that there would be so much to critique. I like that there is more discernible stuff in the mid- and background now. It compresses the space a little, making the image look less open, but personally that does not really bother me. Maybe though, if you want to imply the shore over there, then also add some cliffs and more trees...and don't make the trees be right on the shore, because there the water would quickly drag away the sand and the tree would...fall D:
That also makes me think...so far I always thought she is standing at the sea shore.. so salt water and trees... but I dunno, maybe I'm being too nitpicky about that. Because visually I'm the last one to say anything against trees
What that faint structure is, I don't know, but it certainly raises my interest. Which is good, methinks. But if you can play that up some more and make clear what it is.
At this point there are mainly two things that bother me a little. The biggest one being, that the water looks a bit like it's bending and curving down, rather than being a (more or less) flat surface, like it naturally is. The reason for that is probably the waves, I think you need to make them come more from one direction, and especially farther away from the shore all we would see is some rather horizontal, thin lines of foam. That would also bring back some scale into the picture and help to push back the opposite shore.
The second thing is, that I am not entiiiirely sure of the composition. The girl borders a bit on the centre line with her left side, and with the inclusion of the other shore, it feels like there is not enough breathing room on the left. But I'm not really sure about this, I am thinking that part of the reason why I feel like that is because of the warping problem with the water. When that is solved, it should feel like there is enough space on the left again, I think.
Lastly, not a critique, but maybe include some sort of boat or distant ship? More and more I feel like the girl is waiting for something, it would be cool to suggest what she waits for

Ack, already my net konked out, I hope it will work for a second to send this off

Anyhow, I'm liking this, the subtlety of the image is really quite lovely Well done, so far!
