I have had the privilege of writing a critique on your photograph.
First Impression - the most important one:
Wow...I love it. Then it starts to set in the sky does help this photograph make it more appealing and comfortable to look at. I can see how the voters may overlook that area as the main focal point show the ship.
Composition:
Changing the crop of shooting from further or even using a wider angle could have changed the effect dramatically. With a wider angle you could have achieved the full refelection in the water of the ship and also added more gradient in throughout the photograph of the sky. Not sure but maybe even the sun setting.
Subject:
The subject here being the ship is just phenominal. I love the sharpness you have been able to capture.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Focus is a dead on, color and exposure worked very well as both the ship and the gradient sky look very natural.
To grow its vote?:
Pay more attention to croping and shooting wider in a situation like this. I sometimes try and think of how the voters taking a quick glance at it may look at the photograph.
Summary:
Overall very nice to look at and maybe even re-shoot challenge someday.
Keep up the good work.
