Had watched a number of these guys out on the lake and was walking back when I saw this shore line and thought it matched up for the challenge.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

Your image has a nice balance to it with the distant land and your two figures balancing each other fairly well. Although generally overexposed I think the high key effect works well for the background but not the foreground. You could seriously improve the image by burning in the foreground and making it darker and whilst I normally dislike blown highlights I would leave the rest as is because it actually works well here. Thanks for an interesting entry Jonathon.

Lovely. I might have cropped some from the top to bring the boards closer to the thirds line, but maybe your crop is better. I enjoy the smoothness of the blue vs the earthy texture of the shore. 7

Too light - needs a little less exposure or contrast. Sharpening might have helped this a lot.
