It's just a boat resting on an old tire. I kind of liked the colors and the lines...

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition:

For me this is a nice abstract shot and the composition is good. However, I don't feel that the lines 'lead' the viewer to anything. In my opinion leading lines are something that grabs the viewers attention and pulls them in to the shot. Because of the choice of composition here, with being so close to the subject the viewer can't be lead into or around the image they are just hit straight between the eyes with the boat.

Technicals:

The lighting is a bit dull, more natural light on the day or a boost of the colours in PS may have helped this. It could be my eyes but the tire looks perfectly in focus whilst the boat itself looks a little soft. I also feel the shot could do with a little sharpening.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

This has a nice abstract feel to it. I'm a little conflicted as to what set of lines are doing the "Leading" here. Don't get me wrong, I like the photo overall, just not getting a sense of flow or purpose. No worries, not voting, only observing/commenting. ;^)

I like the abstract. Is that a tire?

Nice eye for the unique a little better lighting could have helped
