The top right is a bit bright for me. Photo would have scored higher with me had that been cropped out

I like the lines of the waves and the light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice capture. Might have cropped a little tighter to cut some of the flare and the blown out sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:13:47 PM
Love the horizontal lines and the depth. The diagonal of the arms and the dark silhouette really focus the eye, and the mist in the foreground is something to look at as well. I love everything but the slightly overblown sky area near the right horizon.
