Greetings from the Critique Club -
Just read your description - "best of a bad bunch". LOL - We have all been there for sure. Though I don't think this is as bad as the score you recieved.
You easily met the challenge. The HDR treatment may be a tad heavy on this shot. What I tend to do when I do editing similar to HDR is bump up the blacks a bit afterwards. In this shot everything comes off as almost too pastelly (is that a word). I think if the blacks were a bit more black the image would have popped a bit more.
Really not a horrible shot - just one that didnt reson te with the DPC crowd. We really are a finnicky bunch arent we.

| It's my impression that boat marinas are a popular subject for painters -- impressionistic and otherwise -- and I think your photo captures that feeling well. |

| The processing gives this a bit of a look that I have done with some of mine, but I don't find it works well with this particular scene. |

| A tad sharper and that thing in the sky cleaned and I'd give it a 10 for sure. As it is, I still like it and I'll go with a mediocre 7. |

This sort of seems snap-shottish to me. Coloring is bland, lack of focal subject etc.
On a good point, I can see your effort in composition...amount of sky vs. land line. |

| perhaps a bit too much sky here, and focus appears too soft for these subjects. |

| Nice effect. Like from the 50's. I like the water surface. |

| Nice processing - the only thing that may be overdone is the amount of sky featured. |
