Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I like the composition of the shot. The boat and reflection together is a presentation I know I would be partial to as well. The sun on the water does make the shot a little over exposed and too bright above the boat.

I think an off center presentation of the boat probably would have moved this image more toward art and a little away from "snapshot" as far a composition goes.

The focus is great. I like the detailing on the sail and the clear ripples in the water.

Overall I would say that this is a great shot. A little adjustment to the brightness and a minor shift in composition would improve it.

This was my first photo entry. So I am very very pleased. I just wish I would have made the boat off center. Didn't really think about it until after the comments....

Thanks all...

I think this is an excellent black and white, but I don't particularly care for the centered composition as much as I might if it was off center somewhat...

I like this shot, although the whites are a bit blown out. Love the idea though! Also it is needing a straighten.

nice capture. the surface of the water looks awesome! i looks like the horizon is at a slight angle and mabye could have benefited from some slight rotation, but that's jus a nit. great shot.

Wow this is cool. Great job
05/02/2003 01:55:20 PM
Do you need the horizon line at all??

Nice composition. I really like the shadow of the boat. It makes it look like a fin carving through the water. Great work!

striking image - my only very small wish is that the boat had been a tad off center

Great shot.

Did you rent a helicopter to get this one :o) the shadow from the sail is good 9pt...

nice b&w beautiful light, the wake gives a nice sense of movement

This one looks rather fuzzy to me. But it's a nice composition nonetheless. - 5

great picture, but do feel it would have been improved by the rule of thirds, and getting to sea level (am aware of the difficulties in doing this).

I'm going to bet this doesn't do so well on DPC - but I love it. 9.
