No matter how much you shake, or how much you dance....

Sorry. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what he's waiting on. I'll just go with shy bladder so at least I can give out the points for it meeting the challenge. lol.

Wondeful colours. The composition and perspective are also very good.

I think that recropping to remove the post and shrubs in the foreground would greatly help. They don't add to the image and I actually find them distracting. The prow of the boat on the right could also be cropped out, or if you want to keep that width, clone it out to clean up that side.

Very little noise for this type of shot. I do find myself wishing the boats were a little more distinct.

I hope this helps.

Many of the comments here say that this image didn't meet the criteria for a 'Still Life'. And while agree with them if using the most traditional arts definition of the term, I was going for a stretch on the theme -- that the scene was still. Anyway, I tried. Thanks to those who liked my image anyway!!

I really LOVE the tones here. The purples and reds and pinks are gorgeous! Love the silhouettes of the boats. All things said, I don't think that this qualifies as a still life so I can't score as high as I would with no theme involved.

Beautiful. Maybe a yellow filter could've been applied, but I can't give this less than a 10.
