Neat concept for the challenge.

cute idea, but my sense is that it is being lost in the translation. Not very crisp, seems to not be in focus...tough to do at night....just doesn't come together for me.

Great concept & nicely done. Yellow look like it is a bit over and lost the detail in the light, but that's being really picky.

Nice use of angles and lines Dan. Also odd that there are no boats docked at all?
If you did 1/80th handheld well done. I battle and use a tripod nowadays.

Did you try taking a few shots at exactly the same spot? i.e. gone low and made the poles look like giants reaching to the sky, this would have lost thier reflection in the water. Gone potrait and landscape. Fiddled with the camera settings and tried Sunlight, Shade, Sport, Building etc to see what came out?

Damn that place looks cold and wet.

I think you have achieved No Key... practically no highlights here at all. A little more side lighting and it could be quite nice.

This photo needs a bit more light and contrast.

Some low key images are just underexposed - this one is but it's made it into what I think is a beautiful low key image. It's wonderfully timeless and has a touch of death about it (sorry Sara!) a sort of Victorian gothic - lovely :)
