My opinion is that the key compositional element of this picture is that the mountain and the boat visually balance each other about the horizon. The use of a near-centre positioning enhances this aspect and so, IMO, you went down the right path rather than R.o.Thirds.

Sounds like a note on returned physics homework. Understand, this an attempt to make art. Art has no rules ..... just itself.

The first one I have come across where the D&L had to do with techniique instead of content. I like it. I may have tried to sharpen it a bit more. Very pretty.

Elegantly simple and beautifully composed. Feels like this should be a Japanese print on a bamboo screen! My only query is over the boat's reflection...it looks a bit odd....

This is a visually pleasing photo, but I do wonder why the water appears to have a slight pinkish cast near the ship. I wonder if you can see it on your monitor?

I keep coming back to look at this one again, and every time I do it grows on me a little more. 9

this looks like a painting. especially the background, actually it reminds me of the matte painting done in movies, which gives it a realistic feel, but heightened setting.

nice take on on the d and l concept. I'm sure you are going to get a lot of comments on how this cheating or something but whatever...
on the image itself I like it. It's a nice use of balance betwen forground and background though it's a little overproccessed and the boat and mount. is kinda dead in the center. make sure to follow the rule of thirds next time

I find the residual color present in the shadow of the boat distracting. I think that a less center-heavy composition would have worked better.

Hehehe, gotta love the title! What a great mountain!

This is beautiful. The black and white is so perfect for this photo.

This is great. Love the idea. The reflections of the boat seem off to me and I think that a slightly more off-center crop might have helped it a tad. Still, a very strong image.

Something different....I like different - Love the reflections and shadowing. Great Job!!!
