the concept was good but has been let down by flat lighting IMO. Instead of just direct flash maybe you could have tried bouncing or better still natural or other indirect lighting to deepen the shadows and give the image some depth - 5

Cool crop, good negative space. Boring boat however. Would have liked either more contrast or more color.

The low light is both a blessing and a curse in my mind as its affecting the colors (adversely imo) and yet its giving a softness to the image that is appealing. Still over all I found myself not too enamoured with the overlying effect so I gave a 4

Lens flare detracts greatly as does the copious amount of void foreground, void sky, central horizon and lighthouse.
