Yeah the tilted horizon is a shot killer for sure. Also this was a free-study so the bar tends to get raised very, very high. I could see this shot winning some sort of challenge like 'odd fellows' or something that would really make the most of the duck and ship in the scene. You should note this location for use in the future. Also hitting it later in the day or early in the morning would provide some much nicer light to work with.

I much prefer this shot to your entry, the guns jump out of the photo. The bridge in the background is a little distracting, an even lower angle would get rid of it and just have the guns against the sky.

I think one problem is the slanted horizon, also the fact the top of the ship is cut off doesn't help. I think I would like to see the whole ship. You could try lots of different angles maybe, there is nothing hugely wrong with your shot but there is just nothing that really jumps out and in free study the competition is much harder

Be sure to rotate your horizon as it makes water and ships appear as if they are going down hill. Perfect detail on this battleship.

Comment by Prowler:
I like the idea, but maybe find a way to get just the rocks and not all the scrubby brush on top of it in the shot. Different angle perhaps? Battleships are so immense, having the scrubby bush interferring with much of the central ship takes away from the battleship too much.

very intresting shot, the ducks almost lend itself to this shot by saying, peace and war. nice colours the ship does appear to be sinking though as teh front bit is a lot lower than the back end, maybe a tiny skew is needed?
