Fishing Boats

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that contributes to the open nature of this challenge.

I get to comment once more on your image! The fishing boats are interesting especially if they are not a familiar type to the viewer as indeed they are not to me. The composition itself lacks impact, everything is placed quite centrally without much thought to the rule of thirds or any other aid that would have given it more impact.

I am rarely enthused by selective desat and this is no exception, apart from the question why at all but why just one boat why not all three? I think this would have been far better to leave all three in mono and concentrate on getting the best out of the mono tones within the image. I like the background detail but the sky is so boring and so much of it you could have taken most of it out and replaced it with foreground water for a much more interesting result.

Thanks for your submission, apologies for the delayed critique, Sid

I like the light flare and the inclusion of the fence and barbed wire. Gives it a mischievous vibe.

I was wondering if someone would submit an image of actual fresh concrete or a concrete mixer. It happens that there are several. I like the idea. Not very fond of the photographic execution, but bold idea, nevertheless.

Is this the best that you could do for this topic? The bright lights are a distraction and while it looks like there is a pile of concrete behind the fence, I can't really tell. Then it is just about trucks sitting on concrete. Not a good composition. Keep trying though.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, this was definitely a different interpretation on the "traditional" church setting. It was however, taken in a Church during an actual service. Obviously a much more contemporary church setting.
