This is one great image, but when I looked up the meaning of portrait it said "of a person" just because alot of people are knit pickey here, I am not saying DNMC, this will probably score better than my image of a person, I really love the colors and all the detail to it. I will have to score this a 6 just because of the quality and great work. Please correct me if I am wrong in the meaning of portrait.

IMO DNMC this is obviously a landscape even though it is nicely captured.

I'm sorry this is a nice picture but it is not a portrait. Definition from the English dictionary

"a pictorial representation of a person usually showing the face"

Hello from the Critique Club,

The post processing of this image is wonderful and there is no doubt that this entry meets the challenge. The subtle desaturation reflects upon your vast experience here at DPC.

Where this challenge entry misses the mark for me is two fold. First, almost all of the people have their back to the camera. There is no eye contact to help hold the viewers attention. Second, there is no story here. Obviously this is some sort of event but being from the other side of the pond, I have no clue as to what is going on or why these people are gathered together.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

I find it soft and the partial boats detract from the image

This would be a better shot if you cloned/cropped out the first boat. It's one is different from everything above it.
