I like the expression, but you may get dinged by speed voters because you have to look for it to see it. Anyway, good exposure and the image is sharp. I also like the wide angle effect.

Greetings from the Critique Club

My first impression of this photo is very good. I�m a sucker for fisheye photos to start with, but the composition and colors are very nice as well. I love the �cool� color scheme and the touches of warmth in the city skyline and foreground. You have great framing on the bottom and top to keep the focus on the boat.

A couple of things that might have brought the score down is the overall balance seems to be heavy on the left (and perhaps a little unlevel, and there is some strange yellow green tint just to the right of the city at the horizon. A 5.788 is a very good score here at DPC, but typically to score higher, you need clean and simple compositions and there may just be too much going on in this photo for the quick voters. You have to keep it very simple for DPC voters. I see that you cloned out garbage and that really helped, I�m talking more about the boats on the edge of the scene. I like the composition as is and would not change it, but I�m just saying what helps photos score better here.

I think you could have gone a little more aggressive on the sharpening also. It seems to be a tad soft especially in the foreground. Perhaps f/16 and 1/80 shutter would have increased overall sharpness as well, although I�m not familiar with your lens and f/8 may very well be its sweet spot. One last thing on the processing I think a little more drama could have helped it by using a curves adjustment and applying a classic s-curve to the tones. That would create some great drama in the sky and brighten up the whites. I would love to see this in b/w as well and would help hide the off yellow in the sky.

Overall I really like this photo, I think a tilt to the left to help balance it, a little more USM and an s-curve tonal adjustment would have put this well over 6.

It looks like you were getting the "evil eye" from your subject...as though he was saying, "what are you doing taking a picture of me?" :) Lovely editing! :)

Nice candid but the HDR/topaz is way overdone in my opinion.
