Was she aware that her f stop was f/4.0?
As you know and can teach her to set at F/11 for maximum
sharpness front to back. (Unless settings for this camera are different - I don't know it's range)
As most members will probably suggest, a good crop to make into envelope shape would be better.
I'd want to clone out some of the debris in water also.
That all being said - it looks a lovely day and it is a very lovely image
of the Hotel and bay. a good advert for Donegal.
I'll upload a mod.

F8 smallest aperture on that camera I think. A nice tidy shot, but the very bland foreground spoils it compositionally. You either need to crop it off, or have an item in there, preferably on the bottom left third, to act as the main subject. A brightly coloured bucket and spade would do the job.

Its a nice scene Billy. She should sign up for her own account!
So a correction re this aperture and depth of field. This is an appropriate aperture for this shot, as its a compact camera, no an SLR. At this aperture, and assuming the subject is 300 feet away, your zone of sharpness is from 3.5 feet in front of the lens to infinity.
The composition is right on thirds too. Its better to have had something of interest in the foreground here, - Im sure youe seen driftwood etc strategically placed in the foreground, and as theres not a lot there, better to crop some off.
The light was lovely, - the camera doing a decent job, but the burnt clouds are not recoverable. The reflection in the wet sand are really nice.
Ive loaded a mod with a warmer white balance, crop, and slight sharpen.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Willie
