Great stuff!
I do believe there could be some improvements, try experimenting with these suggestions:
- The parasols might look better when they are a bit lower. Loose the lowest light grey pixel and the first dark one. I feel that makes them stand out less and blend in more.
- Make the parasols a bit darker and loose the top pixel. I feel that defines the shape a bit better and lets them blend in better with your beach colors.
- I feel there is something wrong with the palmtrees. Some trunks have beachcolors in them, giving them a strange kind of zig-zag shape.
- I see you have attempted to give the visitors to the beach a "tan". Maybe some may even have a darker tan. Right now almost all visitors are very "pinkey" (yes I know, it is just april, so not much people have gotten a chance to tan
)
I have included your screenshot with some alterations from me to show what I mean (except the tanning).
My parasol edits are in the low-left, please note the green circles regarding the palmtrees.
