Serene, nice tones. I would like to see a little more ocean/lake/big body of water to make the boat feel lonelier, especially given the title.

Greetings from the Critique Club

A great piece of commentary, here. Thanks for entering it.

Your desaturation detail looks good and certainly the black & white portion is nicely done. The one thing that hit me when I first saw this image in competition and again now, is that those cooling towers are very orange. I wonder if you happened to boost the colors just a tad beyond believability, or maybe they were just that way at sundown/sunrise and it's all in my imagination.

In any event, no matter that the scoring on this was merely average, you told a good story, and told it well.

I wish you continuing future success at DPC.

Nice simplicity work...a little more light over the main subject would work well though.

Whoa! This is pretty underrated. I mean, 6.44 is a great score, but this is just so striking with the contrast in textures and sharpness vs. bokeh! What a beautiful photo!

Nice work. For a Basic Editing Challenge, the only thing that I could comment on for the downside of this image is the composition. Perhaps symmetry would have made this slightly better, but isn't worth voting lower on. 10
