Hello, greetings from the Critique Club,
This is your first entry to DPChallenge, and you started out quite well. I am new to the Critique Club, so we're on equal footing :)
First impressions: Nice picture. When I look at the water, I almost can feel a little seasickness; in this case that's good! The border is very prominent.
Focus: Very good. Everything that needs to be in focus, is. DOF is great.
Lighting / Colour: Also good. The colours are "real". The whites are beautiful, as is the sky.
Composition: I like the white veranda/black tubes on the right hand side - they add to the picture, give it depth. IMHO, the photo might be more dynamic if water and sky weren't divided half and half; maybe a division in thirds would be better (1/3 sky, 2/3 water, or the other way around). I also wish the picture were slighly larger.
Border: The border is nicely done, but possibly it is a bit too heavy for the picture. It almost overpowers it, and makes it darker than needed. Also, to the bottom right hand, the border and the picture merge, making a black triangle - IMO it would be better if that weren't there.
Meeting the challenge: No problems.
Final opinion: I like the picture, it's a great first entry. I think we'll have to look out for you in the future :) Take care,
Ursula Abresch |

| I really like the boat, the foreground stuff on the right I think takes away too much from the boat. |

| Really perfect and life-like colors. The rail and piers really give the shot good balance. |

| Great focus! Personally, the thick outer border is a bit overpowering. Fantastic composition and color. Nicely done! |

| I like how the waves tips, the railing and the clouds all form a triange to lead the viewers eye to the ferry. Nice exposure and idea! |

| I think the fact that the border is black and this thick stifles the pic a little here. |

| Excellent shot. If you had taken off the outside black part of the border i think you would score higher. 8 |

| Clear and bright. For some reason I particularly like the bits of the pier in the lower right. |

| The photo is great, the border is too big though. |

| The thick border is more distracting than it\'s worth. |

| Framing adds a lot to this photo -- good choice! |
