From the Critique Club
Composition: Well composed photo, meets the challenge without problems. It's a peaceful photo, that reminds the viewer of times past. If anything, the picture could be cropped a bit all around (go in on the ship a bit more).
Colour / Lighting: Muted. The blueish hills in the background are very nice, as is the cloudy sky - both give the picture a real sense of depth. The green/purplish grey of the water beautifully sets off the blues of the hills and sky. The ship is a little dark, almost like a silhouette. I don't know if you tried it, but brightening up the picture a little might have given it more zest.
Focus: Seems a little on the soft side; the movement on the water surface probably intensifies the sense of very slight out of focus.
Frame: The stark black frame adds to the overall muted look. It might be worth it to try a white mat rather than the black one.
In my opinion: Good entry, pleasant to look at, but it's missing the strength, or spark, that you have in another one of your pictures, "A Trip to the Coast". Take care,

| Great ship. THe backdrop is sweet. This is a very nice capture of a very cool ship. I wish it were focused just a little more though. |

| I think a tighter crop would improve it, possibly vertically. |

| I'm really glad you chose not to turn this black and white. Reminds me of the bluenose, I really like the contrast of it against the water and sky. |

| I love the color of the water... really, the color overall is quite nice. I do wish the boat weren't quite as dark, but overall, quite nicely done! |

| I very much like this shot and the muted colors. If I have any criticism it's that I think you could crop out the upper forth of the picture without it suffereing any. |
