Tranquility on the estuary

Your colors are great here! Strong, very rich but not over-done. The composition is just lacking a little interest for me. I think if I suggest that you move left or right to try to get a third boat into the shot, you may be limited by the end of the dock you are shooting from. I think if you were shooting from a kayak or something more mobile, You might have had an easier time positioning the shot. I hope this is helpful and not too critical. The technical aspects of the shot are excellent.

This is a beautiful rendition of “Boats” The watercolor sky is perfect. You’ve done a great job keeping the diagonal lines (ropes) from going jagged. This is excellent work!

This is an amazingly creative capture! I'm shocked that you've only received two comments on this so far. It's my favorite of the challenge.

This is amazing work Mark!
When I look at the two (Forgive me) relatively ordinary photos that this was created from, Its simply inspiring to see what you are able to create with them. Remarkable!

Hey Judi, How are you? Cool shot! I can't believe an honorable mention entry only has 1 comment.
Oops, i guess I ruined that. Now you have two comments.

I do like the old-world coloring you've used on this.

This is great work Robin! It's great to see an "out-on-a-limb" type shot score well.

A flying wilder beast! Who'd a thunk it? This is indeed art at it's finest! The image makes me laugh! it's a fantastic shot! I hope it does well in the challenge, but..... You know these voters are all so misguided.

- That's it? That's your title??? :-) I love it!
I'm not sure what I'm looking at.. so, as good art performs... i see the things that relate to me... It looks like a golf club thrown into the water out of frustration. ... or maybe a fallen branch on a quiet morning, drifting away to the sunny side of the island. Its very simple... which makes it hard to hang on a wall. But the depth that it pulls from this viewer put's the score well above the average shot in this contest. High marks from me. Good luck in the challenge.
