I uploaded this shot for the challenge (just got back from a weeks holiday with my crew) I checked out previous challenge results and came across Joey's shot for the perspective challenge... Wow great minds think alike. I did not remove my submission. Hope the voters are not too hard on me for leaving this in but I honestly did not see any other shots.

Thanks for looking

Coley

From the Critique Club:

I'm gonna be using my what I like/don't like format for this shot so here goes!

What I like: I really like the overall compostition of this. You have some great lines (the boat) leading you into the shot. I really like the contrast of the gold boat and the blues and greens of the background. I really like all the parallel lines you have also. These are in the boat and extend to the shoreline in the bg. Even the shadow in the front of the boat adds to the feeling of the shot! I can almost hear the waves hiting the sides of the boat.

What I don't like: You have very cool lines that lead into the shot, however when you follow them out into the background, there really isn't anything there to land upon. It's kinda like a diving board over an empty pool to make up an expression on the spot... Your horizon also looks a tad crooked but making it straight would ruin the symetry of the boat at the corners.

To summarize, if there were something in the distance to see when you followed the lines of the boat then this shot would be the bomb!

Hope you find something usefull here.
yours

I voted 6 for this. I noticed the similarity to the other one, but they're different enought that it didn't even occur to me to worry about it.

It's a nice picture - good color and exposure on the canoe, and the tip of it makes a nice intersection with the shore.

Generally I'm not a fan of centred subjects but just occasionally they really work and this is one of those occasions. The way the helm of the boat leads the eye to the shore and horizon is great.

Nice golden wood tone. It works well against the blue water and sky.

lovely...I'd love to be there right now! I like it, but it lacks a WOW factor that's really needed

This definitely rates a ten...a true beauty. It seems as if the bow of the canoe is being lifted out of the water. You can almost hear the canoe as it passes through the water. I love it.

I really like the idea. I am not sure the time of day was the best for this shot. A misty moring with a sunrise in the background might be a cool idea. Nice job either way though.
