Too bright. All the white on the boats is blown out. Nice depth and good focus. A very tight shot making it look busy. Either darken or lower the contrast on this. Reducing the gamma might help. It's worth a try. PTL 5

Nice abstract, and it sure is B/W. Good use of negative space. good work.

I don't like this much at all. There is really no detail to honor this person with. She looks like a lovely girl, why not show that off? I can't comment on technical aspects like focus or lighting, cause there really isn't any due to so much post processing. The angle and framing/cropping needs some work though, in my opinion. You cut her nose right off. Sorry if I don't see this the way you do. Good luck in the challenge.

You have a nice composition here, but for my tastes, you went too far with the post processing. I can see the value in it, but it just doesn't work for me...

Very crowded with detail.

Very interesting "art type" portrait, that does manage to capture some expressiveness. The composition feels a little unbalanced to me, with just a little too much negative space for my taste. Overall though, I like the photo.

Looks bright and oversaturated (especially the distant boats). Nice colour and detail though.

Just a bit over exposed. Looks like a nice place to be though.

Nice photo, although a little to much glare. Perhaps a polarising filter would help (unless you already had one on?). Nice framing though.
