I took this shot from my office building in downtown Chicago. It turned out to be more of a Pointilist Minimalist exercise.

How I scored it.

1. Focus.
2. All the black dots. 1 is minimal.
3. Too much information, leads to lack of focus.
4. The colour, the boat should be in contrast.
5. It is not under sail. I know, WHAT? A sail boat in its minimal state, should be under sail.

There is a ridiculous amount of noise in this image. If you really had no choice about the grain, you could have used a softer focus to make it look more artistic.

very noisy, and those dots(buoys?) are not doing any good

I like the texture of the water. Since the boat is heading to the right, I would have liked to see more open space in front of the boat. 6

The heavy noise works for me. I don't usually like it. This has a feeling of a Japanese print.

Very hard on the eyes.

I like the shillouette of the sailboat on the water. However, I think that a little tighter view of the boat might give us some more detail, but would still fit within the parameters of the challenge.

Meets the challenge. Very grainy though. And what are the little spots everywhere? Did your lens have the measles? :)

what all those dots? birds or dust. Would have been great with out that

I can barely see the buoys, maybe my eyes just hurt from staring at this image, it hurts me. 3

Very cool. I wish the lighting was a little better so that the buoys and boat didn't get as lost in the noise of the dappled water.
