I Love the shot and I love the idea. But the bath towel looking base spoils it completely. Technically, I can't fault the picture, but (for me) I felt I was looking at the towel more than the wonderful shipâ€Â¦ (5)

Comment by LindaLee:
The blue fabric/towel under the boat is very distracting to me. I would have preferred to see it completely surrounded by black so that it appeared to be floating in air. The shot also feels "crowded" to me. Maybe landscape with a little more negative space to give the boat room to breathe. Hope this makes sense to you. lhall

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - good
Technical Aspects - good
Meets Challenge - looks like a new model of an old ship
Visual Impact / Originality - good

The towel really detracts from an otherwise good shot. 5

Good framing and composition. The blue "sea" is a nice touch. I think if the light was a little more even on the sails, it would be more effective, for me. karmat

A darker base would have really helped this more. The towel just throws the whole shot off.

This is a beautiful photograph! I would like to have seen it sitting on something with a different texture, though. Something more smooth....
