Comment by redmoon:
the best thing about this shot is the clever use of depth of field - i like how the water in the foreground is out of focus - it works with the image well and almost give the impression that it could be a small scale model. i also like the moment you captured the boat; its tilt does convey a good sense of movement. another good bit is the silhouette of the guy behind the black sail; it adds interest and makes you wonder what he's up to.

i feel it's suffered though by the crop at the back - having the end chopped off makes it feel visually unbalanced. the lighting on the hull could be improved with a bit of post process brightening. and i hate to be one of those people, but it doesn't really suit the challenge. any shadows there are incidental, rather than integral, to the picture.

Nice shot, but I'm not sure where the frame is (the two outside boats?)

I'm afriad that I don't understand the 'shadow' here.

while it's a great shot, I can't see a frame in the foreground framing what's in the background...or is it just me?

There are some shadows visible after much searching, but they are certainly not a main feature of this photo.
