How nice of them to have that blue boat sitting up against the red! Nice appealing shot mainly because of the setting and the colors. Very picturesque.

Now this could mke a perfect image for a "jig-saw" puzzle.
A really pleasing composition and I love the reflection of the boats in that glass like water.....

I gave this a 7 during voting, I love the colors and the composition, as well as the contrasts of the colors in the boats, building and then the reflections in the water. I thought the red building "lists" to the left a tad, and the sky took away from the brilliance of the colors below.....

Positives:
There are a lot of things to like about this image. It captures the feeling of a small town New England fishing nicely. Exposure is very well done and retains good detail. With the boats, the red building commands the center of attention and has a 'New England' feel. :) The boat reflections add interest to the composition.

Technicals:
The exposure retaining detail and tonality is a strength. Lighting and lighting direction does not play a central role. Color is generally good. This image does not have any over and/or underexposed areas. This is good. Depth and tones are very good.

Sky and cloud detail is weak.

The challenge:
Meets the challenge. It works, but not at the highest levels viewers may be looking for. (What do they know? LOL!!)

Suggestions:
Apply severe dodge and burn to the sky. It is the waekest part of the composition. You included the sky so adding more viewer interest there is paramount for a higher score.

I think it deserves much high ratings. I would've liked to see the bow of the boat on the left, an a bit sharper. Then it would be suitable for framing/selling.

I love this subject, composition is good, I think you might have over saturated just a little, and it could have been a little sharper. Otherwise great. 8.

Back to comment: A very pleasant scene that is well captured. I've looked at this image on two computers and the focus on the red building looks a little soft. Still, I've put you in my top 10 for this challenge.
