I didn't notice it until just after I took the picture but there was a man swimming in the ocean.

Technical: the color contrast (imo) could be a little more, having three items in a line is nice (sun, boat, and whatever is in the water), the contast seems ok...the water is a little dull but that's ok...
Creativity: if the boat was a little more off centered i would really like it...
Personal Opinion: i still think it's a great photo! a little more contrast in coloring would help me out!
Score: 6

very nice. I love the shape of the ships sails against the beautiful sunset.

One of the better sunset shots. The full sails of the ship is what make this photo so special.

Some thoughts:

-Looks like you waited for the perfect moment!
-Very serene and peaceful
-Perfectly straight horizon :)
-The texture of the water looks somewhat off, not sure why.. too sharp??
-While this is a beautiful photo, it's one that I've seen over and over again... it lacks the creativity I am looking for.

Peaceful and beautiful. Maybe a little tighter on the crop or a longer lens would be more dramatic. 6

a lovely image, but the boat is slightly oversharpened - jpeg things at the edges.

Iwould like it better if the sailboat was not dead center. Neat sunset, nice exposure

is there a shark in that water? that looks like a shark fin. yikes! great capture . it would be stunning if the boat were in front of/right below the sun. still very nice as is.

There is a lot of extra space here that I think does not really contribute to the image. A closer crop on the schooner and sun would be better, I feel.
