I didn't get very involved in the low-key thing, because things so subtle elude me. Compositionally, it's very balanced. It's a little busy on the left side, but the negative space on the right balances it out. Definitely complex.

What never ceases to amaze me about your images is how you seem to nail the colors every time. You've managed to use knock-out colors, yet maintain the serenity of the scene; all while maintaining crisp, sharp lines. I think it's gorgeous. You should have a line of postcards!

Something about the warm tones of the sky reflected in the water is very appealing -- beautiful photo.

Very nice, Bear. Without being judgemental,I can see why some would have a hard time buying the low key aspect of this shot. There is a bit more light and shadow detail than I would think would be commonly acceptable. Having said that, it has some great shadow detail, and for an old sea dog like me, is very calming and restful, reminding me of cool mornings spent with a cup of coffee and a quiet harbor before the start of a hectic day. Kind of the deep breath before starting work. Let me know if you are going to do a print version.

Hey, is this left over green jello from the 'Pick 2' challenge? :-P
Cool shot though, nice flow and good lighting.

I agree with Neuferland, I like the angle shot better! It just grabs your eye and pulls it out to the sky and then back around again. Lovely!

This was originally one of my personal top three picks for this challenge because of the great shadow tones (Uh, I mean detail) in the boats. The framing is exceptional and technical quality outstanding. This is 10 times better than my own higher scoring entry.

Doesn't meet my classical def of low-key, but it's a GREAT shot, Robert.
