I'm new to this site and I'm not a photographer, but I have seen this exact beach and picture in the movie called The Beach with Leonardo Dicaprio. I find it interesting you named the picture The beach. Is that a coinsidence?
Can you believe that such beauty still exists in our world, where we feel we must build, build, build?! Gorgeous shot, you captured such amazing colors. The border does seem a bit wide, but all in all, very lovely.
Wow, nice pic, unfortunate that its not in more sizes, im on 1280x1024 here, but it acts as a superb pic nonetheless. Oh, i think the border looks fine :) 9/10
