At first I saw this and was like "woah....awesome" but after a few seconds it lost some of the wow factor - the background houses seem pretty soft, and lights a tad washed out (so you lose the nice starbursts a bit). THe exposure seems perfect on the santa maria and the right hand side, but not so great in the b/g.
The colours, however, are lovely and rich, but I think there needs to be more of a focal point to the composition. The sky seems to lead you down to the middle of the buildings, but theres nothing there to see. |

| I loved the blues in this photo...and I think the color carries the whole picture. But I had problems with this photo. It seems to me that the focal point is hard to find...is it the boat on the right or the horizon buildings or the sky or the water. I can't tell and my eye is drifting all over this photo - admiring the blue but not able to rest anywhere. Also the buildings and their lights seem out of focus, which is important because my eye wants to rest there...if only because the soft lines in the sky lead down to the buildings and the shoreline on both sides of the picture do the same thing. Perspective seems to draw me to the buildings and their lights, and I am disappointed that they are not crisp. I recognize that I am in the minority in this instance because I voted a 5, even though I wanted to go much higher because of the blues. |

I've not yet even had the chance to look through the entries for this challenge - I'm surprised, though, that this is below a 6. It looks almost "Rikki'd" by the way. The blue is awesome, particularly the water - very rich. I recognize your boat over there on the right. The only minor distraction for me is the building (?) in front of your boat - the greenish color sort of stands out. I do, however, realize there isn't anything you can do about that in basic. As for balance, I'd maybe pull the horizon just a wee bit lower... Nope. Just tried it and I like it better your way. |

I didn't vote in this challenge but did glance through and knew this was yours. Excellent job. I love the starburst lights. The water is very calm and the deep blues are peaceful. The boat caught my eye in the thumbnail (which is how I knew it was yours). It has a really nice reflective quality to it. |

| I love the rich vivid blue color and the sky has great interest. The horizon looks good just a hair below center. Well done! |
