This does create an isolated feel, but a calming one, not a disturbing one. I like how the horizon nearly blends with the sky but not quite. Really a very nice shot!

The technicals: well done. focus and lighting are naturally well done (6+ shots always are). Composition is nice. I think it's more traditional to have the negative space on the left. Does that improve the shot? I don't really know, but I find myself respond to pictures better when composed that way and do it myself now when the two choices seem the same.

The feel: Does certainly feel isolated. These shots are certainly aren't original (I was even trying to shoot one on the ferry ride I took yesterday), but that doesn't mean they aren't good.

The game: It's pretty hard to say what can improve a 6+ shot. That's a really good score. Taking the minimalism even further may have done it. How? By having even less or no detail in the sky. Also a B&W treatment may have inched the score higher too. Check out this similar shot in the Image Grain challenge. It scored a 6.5:

I like the overall blue cast and how the horizon just fades off to nowhere. Nicely captured.
