Love the composition and clarity of this shot.. it gives a real taste of the "deep south" and certainly what I would expect to see in any guide book for the area.
Very nicely done.
Bumping from 7 to 8

I like this a lot! If there were a way to make the reds 'redder' then you would have a winner!

8 from me.

Having grown up in New Orleans, I have a natural affinity for shots like this. ;-) For some reason, though it seems to be a bright day, the colors came out a little bit bland. You might want to increase contrast a bit in curves or just play with the saturation to see if the blues and reds can come out looking a bit more like they really did that day. Still, this is a nicely composed shot and I think the white matte adds a nice touch.

Great subject for a travel guide. Seems a bit over exposed and the boats seem to merge together.

Very nice! I love the colors...How did it look with the rest of the reflections in the frame?

Good luck (9)

I like the colors and the overall tone. I allso have a fetish for boats.
Good work.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy viewing this photo, great job, but this comment will be focused on what I think are the negative aspects. I believe that you selectively desaturatedthe upper three decks of the far ship. Why? That added distraction to the image IMHO. Also, the composition leaves us with an incredibly detailed and interesting foreground to an emty background. Otherwise, I still really like this shot. Perhaps if you were to photograph this in the future, you would compose with less sky and more of the boats' reflections in the water. 7.

i really like how you didn't push the colors, which let the shapes and details dominate.

I love the sharpness in the boats in contrast to the textures in the water and the sky. Great photo! Good luck in the challenge!

I really like this one. it looks like a postcard. I think the color could have been a bit more vivid with adjustment.
