I like the subject/composition. I'd clone out the bright spot on the right.
Just me, I suppose, ('cause it's a great
lens, right?) but I just am not comfortable with the bokeh. Seems like the
background is OOF about the right amount, but
not in the right way. Well, the figures on the beach are ok, but the buildings
and trees bug me. Like there's some kind
of edginess hiding under the softness? Wish I could describe it better.
Yeah, it may seem I really have it in for the 90/2, but I swear I looked and
reacted before noticing which lens was
used. :-)

The body positions of the guys are perfect. I like that there is detail held
through the windows. I like the tones in
the many various kinds of reflections. I'd try cropping everything to the left
of the left hoist upright. It seems to me
it doesn't add anything to the story and losing it would tighten up the image.
