Greetings from the Critique Club

This would easily fit into either of this weeks two challenges.
The repititous pattern is very interesting and appealing.
I like the way the light and shadows contrast, emphasizing the design. The colors are not real bright, but that's fine. Subtlity is nice too.
Perhaps the crop is a little tight. A little space between the bows and the edge of the picture would be better, I think.
Over all a nice picture.
Regards,

Grayce

I liked the repeating pattern. Maybe you could have repeated the covers as well or eliminated them? The soft focus distracted me. Keep up the good work.

looks out of focus and the color is dull.

I'm not sure how this qualifies as a "cliche," though the pattern is nice.

need to get the front of all the boats--I think that angle would have a more dramatic effect

I love the pattern here - personally I would have liked for the sharpest focus to be at the beginning of the boats - (these comments are so subjective) - its a great shot either way!!

This shot isn't very interesing and it seems to be out of focus. Nothing really to focus my eye on.

Nice use of patturns and colors. This is a very unique photograph. Good job.

Im not sure exactly what the picture is of but i like the color and how clear the picture came out. Nice Work

Took some looking to figure this one out. This is different and nice. In fact each time I look at it the roofs appear to look different, looking life water, then like a roof, then like etc. Hope you can see what I mean. This is unique and I like it. Great initiative on your part and a well done photo.

good try

Certainly meets the challenge...have seen this shot many times in photo books.

Nice composition, but I wish the focus was sharper.

Visual impact doesn't say much to me, perhaps if you had showed more photo to me? The overall color is okay, but only 3 of the boats are in focus. The colors do stand out bright enough, but is that enough?

I would have like a little more of a cleaner photo. It seems sort of blurry or grainy to me.
02/03/2003 02:45:22 PM
nice composition. the zig-zag line work in the boats move the eye nicely through the photo!

Composition: Excellent choice of shape. The number of boats you have included seems to confuse the picture. I think I might prefer it slightly more open (not quite sure how).
Technical: Colours and lack of border are good. I guess the shot was hand-held making deep DOF difficult, but I think crisper focus would have benefited the end result.
Meets challenge: Holiday photo?
Overall impression: Good idea but let down slightly by aesthetics for me personally. 6
