I'm sure the sky is often times like this over there, but it would really be a much better photo had there been some clouds or even dark rain clouds giving it an ominious look. But good overall composition.

Comment by moodville:
The image looks a little flat to me, possibly because of the muted colors from the overcast day. The composition is good and having the fisherman as a foreground element to the city backdrop is great. Unfortunately the image is a little soft/OOF and using USM may have helped a little.

Looks familiar to me--I was just there yesterday ;) Nice composition, though some might argue this is not the best view of the city. Might have had more impact on a less gray day, with more color saturation. The fishing boat is important here--just so they don't eat the three headed fish. One nice thing I think about the capital district is we have such great blue skys much of the time, with lovely clouds. Ok, summer, anyway. ;)

Comment by ellamay:
Greetings from the CC, this is a well represented subject, it is ordinary tho it is well suited both to challenge and your use of sepia tones. My biggest criticism is the bottom of the shot is overexposed and may have done well to crop it out. I think the angle at which you took the shot made for an interesting composition. I would like to see the front of the 'back' barn, exposing what is behind the run down broken 'windows'. This shot strikes my as a historical one, that would do well to document a community or a time in history. I think it would work well perhaps in a series of similar shots. Hope that helps a bit, well done and happy shooting!

The DOF here looks to me like it's not quite natural and maybe PS'd in. (sorry if I'm wrong...)

Comment by nephrotic:
just seems to need to be a bit more "contrasty" to bring out that "winter, cold" feel
