I'm a sucker for this kind of shot. The colours are fantastic! I'd be being pretentious if I even tried to offer any improvements but as a couple of people mentioned below, the position of the boat could have been more favourable for you. Not that you could have done anything about it of course! Fantastic shot.
nice sillouette, nice color a bit satureated however but not displeasingly, geat movement, great dof, good light, good comp, overall have a print available
Ahhhh - so close to perfect! It feels like you snapped the shutter seconds to early or too late. If the boat had been a little to the left I would see a gorgeous reflection of the sun on the water. If the boat had been a little to the right I would see no reflection, just the sun but the boat would be in between the two shores. So almost 10 is nine.
This is an amazing shot. The only thing that bugs me is that bright orange shape off the end of the boat. What is that? It disrupts the serene feel of the shot.
shame the sun wasn't a little more over to the right but hey thats not easy to do!!! I love this shot and will be favouriting it right now... Good luck
