I thought I had a decent photo for parts; it had good aesthetics to me, especually the smooth pastel water, and it was a part of a boat, so it met the challenge.
Curious why this was voted so low. Just want honest criticism to help me improve.
By the way, this is full frame of the original capture. Only converted and reduced using Breezebrowser.
Sorry to bug people for comments, but I only got two during the challenge.
Thanks in advance.

It's a fairly nice shot which I gave 6.
I think maybe it was lacking creativity that some voters were itching for?? Maybe?
Nice color and clarity, but it doesn't JUMP out of a pack of over 400 entries. |

| i dont know why other voters voted the way they did, my first thought would be that this photo is too busy, possibly some tighter cropping, or a different approach. there is so much to look at for a parts challenge, i understand it's part of a boat, but i would like to see this picture outside the parts challenge as a whole. it a very nice shot otherwise. |

| Thanks. Anyone from the evening crowd care to comment as to how I could have improve this for Parts? |

I gave it a 4 in the voting. It was a good workmanlike photo from a technical perspective. Comp and subject just weren't that interesting to me. Also low contrast flattened the image. IMO it would have been better with highr contrast to add depth to the subject. Sorry to seem negative but you asked for honest opinion. |

Yup, I just voted 5 on any image (this one included) which didnt stand out (appeal to me immediately). With so many entries, there just wasnt enough time to revisit the 5 votes. I did revisit and adjust my 6 votes and bumped up some to 7,8,9.
I might have bumped it to 6 on more careful consideration, but it still lacks the WOW factor.

| I didn't vote on this one because of the large number of photos for this challenge and lack of time. It's a pleasant picture but it seems to cluttered with items. It's a photo of part of a boat with lots of objects attached. My focus wasn't on part of the boat, my attention was on all the objects. |
