Hi from the Critique Club

First impressions are that the processing is over the top. That may sound strange given DPC often likes that but in this instance it feels wrong. Perhaps because the image is so narrow. Why is that?

The subject feels crammed into the frame, although general composition is good.

Once I look at the shot for a while (something many voters may not do) I see that the tones are good. It's really just the reds in the shipwreck that seem too much. I know it's a shipwreck because you said it was - otherwise I'm not sure it's that obvious. That would have hurt the score a bit.

I feel that if the shot was another inch or so higher then you'd have got a much better score.

Like the colors. The size seems awkward to me.

The crop seems a bit too tight, I think it's because of the sun above?
the upper half is too dark, maybe it could be shot from closer / above, so we could see what it is.
