The background lighting is inconsistent with the contest source.
Notice how the wheels of the vehicle are fully lit? Yet you have both versions riding over rocks that are in the shade. Just doesn't work, visually...
Consistency of lighting and shadows is hard, but is one of the most important things in almost any entry in these competitions. You can try lightening the rocks with the Dodge Tool, or find another beach background image to use that does not have such obvious shadows beneath the riders.
Author, you need to show sources used. Please link to them if you got them from the internet or post them uncut in your SBS if you took the images yourself.
Great image, it looks like they're playing Hide and Seek, and the girl has found a good spot where she can't be seen. Well done!
agree with MossyB, I suggest change title to "Hide and Seek"
Howdie stranger!
