"Critique Club Comment"

COMPOSITION- Beautiful composition. It is framed well with just enough below and above. Great color and nothing too distracting. Reflections are great.

BACKGROUND- Nothing super distracting in it. The boats in the background are perfect. The clouds look really neat. They look kind of painted into the sky.

CAMERA WORK- Great DOF and Shutter speed. Everything is sharp and nice. A polarizor might have been nice to bring out more blue in the water and sky.

DIGITAL PROCESSING- done great, no compression or the like.

MY OPINION- This is a beautiful shot. It fits travel nicely, on the water. I like the reflection. For some reason water shots are usually my favorite, I just like rushing water or any type of water.

The top half of the photo looks just a little bit over-exposed to me - the white of the big boat and the boats in the backgroud is very bright. I'd prefer not to see the shoreline at the front as I feel it detracts from the photo. Good colors, focus, and composition otherwise.

Nice reflexion caught in the water!

Really like this photo! Love the composition, colors, and focus. Great shot.

Wow, gorgeous picture! While a moored boat isn't quite my idea of travel, I do get the idea and the reflection would have never been as nice in motion, so I like it. Small nit: the mast reflection is grounded, a slightly different angle would have placed the end of the mast in the water, complete. 9 Swash

It seems to be a nice place and a nice time of year but the picture isn't very interesting. The symmetry between the boat and its reflection actually makes the picture more static than need be.

Now here is a wonderful 1000 piece puzzle if I ever saw one. Great reflections of the clouds and boats both. Only thing I don't like about it is the dark in the bottom left hand corner. I know you wanted as much of the reflection of the boat as possible, but I wonder if the dark is worth it. Personally I would have cropped the dark out, rather than have it spoil an otherwise perfect picture. Man I hate that dark spot. But I still like the shot and it's worth a 9. PTL I really want to give a 10 but can't. I hate that dark spot........

Good photo, very nice to look at. But is missing meaning.

Great work - the white is perhaps just a little harsh but that could be the monitor I'm using. Otherwise though this is a great photo
