My eye is drawn to the lighthouse at the center of your collage. The repetition of, I think mermaid tails, at first glance, looks like a flower. And the mermaid tails are pointing to the center of this piece making the lighthouse the focal point. This is very interesting and feels very beachy.
I really line how at first glace I am drawn to the edges with the mermaid tails and the plant. At first glace I thought it was a flower which shows how well the two images go together. It also makes a really nice center line that lines up great with the building in the middle. I feel like the overall image flows really well and all the colors go wonderful together.
Kennedy, I love how you have different themes that carry throughout your project. The water, the mermaid tail, and the palm trees all make my mind initially think about the beach. The touching hands and the individual with his hands lifted in the air remind me of reaching out to others, or in my mind, faith and coming together. My interpretation is that it is even like the hands are in the clouds of heaven, and the individual is reaching up to it. I think it is especially neat how you divided the image to show each them facing each other in opposite Corners. I love the colors you used also. They are bright tones that reflect the bright meaning and match your personality along with it 
Overall, I think you were successful in using all tones, cool, warm, and neutral, and creating a successful collage.
Kennedy, I really like how your project has different colors and shapes. My eyes are drawn to the flowers in the corners, especially because they have a stronger color comparing to the rest of the collage. I also like how this design brings the feeling beach and calm. Good job!
I think your design is well balanced and it uses warm colors and cool colors. It is not as abstract as maybe it should be; most of the pictures can be clearly identified.
Parts of your design are very realistic and could be abstracted more like the hands, the figures and the tower. You wouldn't have to abstract all of them, but more would help. Good use of repetition and warm, cool and neutral colors. You can use this but I would suggest you abstract the hands a bit at least and work on it some more for a higher grade.
