The color of the rocks are being influenced by the overcast day - which always leaves a bluish cast over the whole photo. You can overcome this two ways. I am not sure if this is shot on a digital camera. If it is, set the white balance to 'overcast or cloudy' before the shot. This will remove the blue cast.
You can also do this later in a photo processing software by changing the color balance to a more warm tone. For example in Photoshop elements you can try: Enhance> adjust color > remove color cast.
Try to crop some sky out of the picture (about 1/4th from each top and right) as there is no variance in that zone and overcast light has rendered it flat. That will take the eyes to end of the walkway and also bring the figures on left to comply closer with the classic rule of third: the point of interest should be at any of the cross points in the one third of the photo. Please see the link below.
Enjoy!

I agree there is no "point of interest". The color of the rocks is due to the lack of a Skylight or Haze/UV filter. Using one of the aforementioned filters would eliminate the bluish tint that I see in the rocks. There are some who claim a Haze/UV filter does it better than a Skylight filter. Of course, one should always have one of those filters on their lens at all times if for no other reason than to protect the front element. Filters are cheaper to replace than lenses.

have you ever heard of the power of thirds?
you have split your image in half and that creates a weak composition.
it you fold a paper into thirds...both ways...you get what forms nine boxes, but it is not the boxes that are important...its the lines.
if you crop the image to fit this style, then maybe it will sit better with people. its sort of like creating a point of focus. photo psychological tricks.
that said...i think it is a great image. it this a pier or a bridge but either way the perspective is great.

Yes, there is no point of interest, and the first thing that hit me was the color blue. I'd like to see some color correction and a different angle/composition.
Keep shooting!

the composition doesn't lead the eye anywhere. There doesn't appear to be any real point - it's just blah. No tension, no beauty, no contrast. Doesn't strike any emotion - therefore it is not art.
