Compositionally, I love this shot. It is "anchored" (no pun intended) strongly in the lower right hand side with the smattering of boats on the left providing a neat contrast and adding balance. It does *feel* tilted to the right to me, though I don't think it is. I suspect it is more of an illusion created by the boats and the clouds.

I really like the bw conversion and how you have captured a lot of detail without making it busy.

It has a very dark ominous feeling. You can almost feel the storm blowing in. . .

Great work

Compositionally, I really like this shot. I am a sucker for negative space, and I like how everything is on one side of the frame. You can almost feel the fish breaking for the open water there.

Technically, it has the feeling of an underexposed shot that was corrected in pp thereby leaving it with some edginess or graininess. At first glance, I didn't like that. This, I think, is a shot that would have to grow on you, because the more I look at it, the more I think it would work.

It has that "advant-garde" feeling that says, "I wouldn't put it on my wall, but I might put it in a fine art magazine."

Greetings! I am taking [user]Louis[/user] up on his challenge to comment outside of our comfort zone. That took me to the HDR gallery -- not sure if it is truly outside of my "comfort zone," but I typically don't like HDR stuff. . .

That said, your image caught my eye because it is not the typical application. I honestly think in this instance, it works very well. It adds a lot of definition and depth that may, or may not, have been present without out it. As a result, it almost feels like you can "touch" the pepper. Also, the color combination/contrast is fantastic.

I'm a negative space freak, and i keep trying to visually move this to the left so that there is more open space on the right. To me, it is so centered, it almost feels static. Throwing a bit of "unbalance" in, I think, would help to add interest to the shot.

Great work, btw.

That movie freaked the snot out of me when I was 10/12ish. Just thinking about it makes me shiver.

great lighting and color contrasts. I don't care too much for the green stripe in the border, but that is neither here nor there, I suppose.

good effect. you chose a good place. the barn speaks of "down home" which would seem to be safe and secure.
