nice, but the exposure looks a little on the dark side, so the colour doesn't really pop

Really great shot and I now love the DOF. I think the colours are perfect and the lighting really adds to the shot. Love you :) 10

Hey there from the Critique Club

Congrats on the top 40 finish. You really have some nice work in your portfolio, and this one is no exception. You have a crisply focused, nicely colored image. I do think that the sun itself is a bit too centered, but not enough to drop a point in voting. I think that the fishermen are just a bit too small, and increasing their size would really increase the impact of this photo. The various horizontal lines work well to carry the viewers' eyes up the "steps" of the photograph. Nicely seen and well captured.

Greetings from the Critique Club Matt.

Beautiful sunset with good colors. Horizon seems nice and level and the rocks are a nice touch. Has most of the elements for a good score at DPC - which your 6.3179 shows.

For an image like this to score very high here you'll have to let the sun go down just a bit more to get that rich color that the voters love. I think a higher crop showing more sky and a bit of the top of the foreground rock would've been better received. I'd also like to see it as I mentioned above but hit the rock with a bit of lighting to bring it out more. The shot itself is truly beautiful but seems to lack the "punch" that people need to be taken aback.

Overall a very nice shot indeed!

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image Matt.

Cheers - Phil
