This looks close to home! I think the focal point may be too distant.

Glow

"Glow" is a very striking piece, defiantly grabbed my attention. This meets the off center challenge, I really like how it is off centered yet you mange to leave the image balanced.

The glow is absolutely amazing, the coloring is so strong. This really looks like a shot for a movie cover, like Hunt for Red October. The sun look unreal. I really like the crop and how you used the length to fit the boat. The composition is excellent, it really feels like a complete shot.

I think the off center challenge is one were people really do have a specific idea in their minds and are really looking for an off balance shot, that's the only think I can really see as to way your shot did not place higher.

Step away from the reel...go to the store...buy ANYTHING but a bait-casting reel! ;^) You have to either love em, or hate em.

Great concept for this challenge. Wonderful lighting and nice crisp focus. I'll bet you brought the beach inside for this one didn't you? He-he. That's cool. Well done. 9

I like your idea of just having a plain wall but adding other shadows to your own to create a an interesting shot. 7.
