*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A strong image with very bold colours that arguably meets the challenge but not in a strong way.

Given my boating background it always upsets me to see a boat in this state, however, that aside it forms a strong foreground which is perhaps part of the problem for this particular challenge. I would like that foreground to form the leading lines that take me into the rest of the image. I'm not sure that your leading lines of the sky lead me into the image because of this strong foreground that needs no leading into. I'm probably not explaining myself very well, I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

An unfortunate problem with the boat is the large metal structure in the immediate foreground it is blocking the way into the image beyond so, in effect, acting against the leading lines objective. The very long exposure has certainly 'flattened' the water and enabled your leading lines in the sky but you also have some overexposure which is less desirable but wisely placed on the edge of the image.

I think the image has impact and I would like to like it more but I don't think it works that well particularly for the challenge brief, sorry. Sid

Nice wallpaper photo. Not a great example of the category.

Otherworldly drama in this one.

Can't fault the image, just not in this challenge, the lines in the clouds are a stretch to me, and something which doesn't draw me into the image, which is what the challenge is all about, also the fact that you had to point it out in the title says a lot; and I say this in the nicest possible way ;)

Loving the bold colors
