The focus is very soft and the pepper is laking any sort of texture.

I like the way you shot through the rigging in the foreground. I agree that it is interesting to compare our two shots that landed right next to each other in this challenge. Yours didn't get any strong dislike, but not any strong love either. Got a 6 from me, if you care about that.

Nice crisp image. Personally I'm not so keen on the 'blueness' of this but I love the boat!

Not crazy about the processing. It's an interesting boat, but you've flattened it so much. :(

Comment by Gringo:
I think the composition, placement and subject are all right on target. I'm not so fond of the washed out colors. I would like to think that the muted colors are extreme enough that I'm telling myself that it must be intentional processing. I hope that is indeed the case here. I do think a more naturally saturated photo with perhaps a little grit/grain added might have given this a little higher score. Right now, it looks like a calendar that has been hanging on the wall for so long the reds and yellows have faded away. Which is a look I try to avoid. I hope this is helpful. Mine is just one opinion, don't let it keep you from greatness just the way you like it.
