I really like your subjects but the lighting is too low. I also would have liked to see the background smooth and out of focus.

Comment by yanko:
You showed the challenge theme well but it's not compelling enough and lacks the wow factor. DPC loves extremes whether it be an extreme close up or an extreme grunge effect. Focus on one aspect you think is most important and do everything you can (ex composition, lighting, dof) to enhance it. In this case you could really show off how each of the three weathered differently by going with a closer and tighter crop. Maybe even move the buoy, rope and chain around so that you can get all three in a more pleasing/dynamic arrangement. You had it right in the thread. Keep it simple.

The boat or the bird? The boat has all the color, but the bird is the subject of interest.

Comment by Prism:
I find it difficult to tell if the red of the boat or the blue of the bird are the point of colour as the main subject.

So my eyes are drawn to the red of the boat, not the bird on the rope.

This is a sweet picture but the composition is a bit top heavy

Comment by rhommel:
not too sure about your composition here, your title suggests the bird is the subject (leaving the boat) but the challenge is 'point of color' which i assume is the boat?
