Good catch. I wonder if you shall not crop it from the top. The boat is now in an uneven zone neither in the middle nor one one tier of the frame

What a great idea for composition. Takes a boring photo and turns it into something special.

If the ground is horizontal, maybe it would have been better as a layering contrast. My personal view.

Hello from the critique club

An image that contributes to the challenge

The woodland scene we have here has pleasing elements about it but as a work of art, it isn't. To be honest, it just doesn't feel as though there was a great deal of thought about it, it feels more of a snapshot than art. It lacks a focal point and sufficient depth of field. I like the mosses and can see potential in a low viewpoint having isolated one or more of the foreground mossy stumps against the soft focus trees in the background, such a scene would have had a lot more impact as a piece of art than what you have here. Sorry Drake but this one didn't work especially in this very well supported challenge.

If I had taken this one of my mentors would tell me it's just a little messy with all the debre in the photo. 6

You're right Drake, although the lighting is flat there are some lovely textures in the wooden walls and slate tiles. The snow is nicely exposed as it should be, nice and white with detail. The composition is good and appropriate. The two boats don't look as they're gonna be going anywhere soon at least not without some ice breaking! Thanks for an interesting entry
