Beneath the Still Waters

Comment by Jinjit:
This is a beautiful photo.
I love the space all around. I wish that the shadow was not cropped at the front of the boat though.
I like the colors. I like the water inside the boat, where they are not expected. I like those weeds in the water.
Over all this photo gives a sense of tranquility and calm.

I also admit that I didn't find it that appealing in the thumb view. Man am I glad I opened it. Very nice work indeed. You have done an excellent job framing this and have captured a piece of beauty. Good work.

What a great scene - unusually appealing (which I confess I didn't expect from the thumb). I love that beautifully fragile tree and the serenity of the evening's conditions, while it looks like a storm in the distance.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Someone thought outside the box. Nice work. Although people will take away from your score thinking where is the graveyard? I won't. On technical merit it is good. I would like to see the red pop a little more. Good composition. The border I think distract from the photo.

I like the colors of the boat name and in the bow, the tress in the background seem a little muted. Overall I really like this photo, plus I think you took a nice chance by taking a picture of an unconventional headstone. 8

Nice to see a different take on the challenge and yet one that is not a stretch in terms of meeting it. Tones too yellow overall for my preferences.
