Comment by IreneM:
Good idea and it comes over well in b/w. The fading into the white distance is another good touch.

A little off center, but also not a rule of thirds composition. I'm a little confused about the strategy, it makes me feel off balance.

Very good idea, but I can't find a point of sharpness in this photo.

very original idea and I do get the boat going into the light but I think it is a little too bright, sorry

the dark bottom and light top, and the ripples in the water are awesome. the ferryman could've been a bit more sharp for me

Comment by Photonurd:
What I like: the wonderful textured, gradient from black to white. That does a wonderful job drawing my eye right to the subject and beyond into his infinite future. Buuuttt... the subject feels less sharp than he ought to be. There is also very little detail in the shadows. Not a serious downfall given the type of image, high-contrast works, but I just feel like there could be a bit more technical clarity. It doesn't give me an immidiate sence of death, but I guess that just gives me a chance to read into it more. Well done overall! 8o)

I'm trying to look broadly, as to how this fits into the challenge. I guess I really don't care, as I love this image. The high contrast and use of negative space is great. I'll leave it up to others' interpretation and give it an 8.
