Interesting effect. Great colors! But not sure what is in focus.

Whatever you did to get the blur is very distracting, in fact almost to the point of being disturbing.

With a title like that you have to show a whale at the very least, otherwise the image doesn't match the title.

Only a small nit... I think this photo could be improved a lot with one simple change. Crop it so that the boat is more to the bottom right 3rd of the photo. With the anglle it is facing, it would give the boat "someplace to go" within the frame. I do like the colors, the textures (clouds in the sky, waves, rocks) and the sharpness on the boat. White balance is righton too. Good luck in the challenge!

The strangeness of this image gives it some visual interest. Like the framing and the strange blurr at the edges. Think litle shorter exposure would have given a better colorsaturation.

Cute! A little blurring in the hands, perhaps on purpose? Good luck in the challenge!
