Great to get all these comments and, something to learn from each one. I had never taken a 2 sec shot before, and of course I got it wrong - thought 2 was two seconds. Now I know it is 2´´. And then I could have moved a few stops instead. Thank you all - and even 1 fave :-)
I checked in forum, and saw that I would not get DQ'ed and entered because I really wanted to see how it would do. But I do try to meet the challenge every time.

Cool idea. A little bit too high key for me. I would have liked to at least see all the detail of the cabin on the boat as well.

Quite an understatement and certainly a pleasant artistic effect.

Interesting shot. I'll be curious to see how you did this.

Very brave ... (I like high key photos and composition like this but I am not quite sure how this would be received here.) But your passion is quite admirable. The only criticism I can offer you is the midplacement between top and bottom makes this composition static - if you place it somewhere an inch up or down, the division between top and bottom would be unequal and would offer additional movement/tension. 9.

Very like a painting. If anything, almost too intense for my taste.

You should have placed the boat different when you first went for a picture like this. Dont like this picture, sorry.

Good idea, but maybe taken in the evening or with a filter would allow some details.

The fisherman is a bit lost in the white sea. Would have been better if he and the boat were more clear

I enjoy the flooding of light, but it has washed out the detail on the boat. Perhaps if you changed the stops to let in a bit less, it would have kept the detail and still acheived the flooded isolation you appear to be going for.

That looks pretty cool!

I'm really undecided about this one. I could take it as a creative use of a 2-second exposure to drive everything except the boat and man to pure white. Or I could take it as an over-processed, not sharp, image that is unrelated to the challenge. I'll decide later.

Quite original and interesting. Not sure though the the outcome excites me much

good concept, but way too washed out. It loses the impact here.

Interesting effect, while technically horribly overexposed it does work somehow. Surreal. Art even. :) 7

Oh yeah, I appreciate getting to see this one. Obviously, not one of the best in the challenge, but it's better than the score you will receive.

Too much light. IMO, this would have been better taken at dawn or dusk.

I like the starkness but I hope others see it. I really like the vivid sat or red and blue.
