Hi from the Critique Club.
When I critique a shot, I first look at the photo without the title or other information and try to figure out which challenge it was from.
I really had no idea which challenge this would be from, althought I thought it might do nicely for sillohuettes, I knew that was too long ago to be getting critique photos. My first impression is that it's a very nice setting and photo, but I don't see much of a connection to the challenge.
I really like the golden tones of the evening light within the clouds and on the water. It does give a somewhat dramatic feel to the shot. Other than a poor connection to the challenge, I think the weakness of the photo would be in the composition / cropping. I like the exposure and the focus seems okay...although the boat could be a bit clearer.
For the composition, I would prefer totally cropping out that dark shadow on the left (the front of another boat?) I would also crop slightly from the right side which is just a bit too dark for my tastes. With that cropping, your boat would be a little less centered in the photo, and I think it would have a greater impact on the viewer.
It sure is a nice scene to capture, and I think with a little different cropping and experimenting with the photo it would be a nice keeper.
I hope these comments have been helpful.

| Not a great photo, there's no one subject that creates a balance... |

| A beautiful sunset. Sadly, the title is the only thing here that has anything to do with "choices". |

| Those clouds create a serpentine pattern of light that is outstanding. The birds/bouys? in the water are a bit distracting. |

"We all face many choices every day. Take a photo representing a choice that you must make."
I didn't see this as a clear image regarding choices.

| a nice sunset photo but rather dependent on the title to instil the theme. Also I think the horizon is slightly sloping to the left and is a bit too central for my taste |

| Gorgeous shot, but it feels to me like you're stretching the theme boundaries a bit. I'm going to ignore that thought since I like the picture so much. |
