Wow, the set of Gilligan's Island has really gone to hell! On a more serious note, I think this image doesn't live up to its potential for two reasons: First, the composition is too centered and static. No drama, tension or dynamic at all. Second, the BW conversion leaves it very flat and lacking in contrast. Everything is either very white (boat) or very dark and shadowy (everything else). It really needs some tonal range.

What's triumphant about it?

Composition could use some work.

Looks like the "Morning Star" has seen better days. Poor ole girl. Like the high-key look.

I thnk you have a great idea here. Have you thought about reshooting it? Maybe a bit tighter on the composition and darken the rest of the area to make the spark plug and spark stand out? I see some noise which makes me thing that you boosted the exposure or used the shadow/highlight tool. EIther way that did leave you a little flat on the lighting.

Still even with all of this I don't think you deserved your sub 4 score.

Let me know if you ever try this one agan, I would like to see it.
