I voted a "7" on this. Superb composition. Great clarity and detail on the wet boot. The narrow dof with pleasant bg bokeh really throws the eye to the subject. I love the luminous glow on the water and the rippled reflections. The fishing line is just right. (My filament line would be invisible.) Outstanding tonal range. Excellent b&w conversion. I also love the shot angle, which is low..... like you were in the water, below the gunnel of the boat.

You did not give a chance to the boot to get soaked but it's a great image. Hemingway would agree.

Nice idea and the composition works. I see where you're going with the selective desaturation but perhaps the post processing might need tweaking or maybe just going another route with it. The shot itself has promise.

Nice use of leading lines and rule of thirds.... color is a bit flat though: 6

Cute enough -- lighting's a bit harsh.
