I thought, at first, that this must be from a 'Blue' challenge, and got left over. An odd photograph, for an odd challenge. I'm sure you can see for yourself why it got voted down the way it did - the weird tonality, the punter's version of odd being different from yours (and mine, as it happens).

I kind of like the image though, somehow. Despite a bunch of stuff that ought not to work really - the mid-point horizon, a slight lack of real fine detail (as in may of your submitted images - enough to make me think it's more of style choice than an accident), and a certain vacancy about it all. Of course there's an implication of 'where's the fisherman?', but that adds a simplicity to it that might simply have been ordinary otherwise. I'd be interested to know your thinking around this one.

way too much blue. Can adjust this in photoshop type software by using color variations and hue shifts. Wood should not have that much of a blue tint, even next to water.

The blue cast doesn't seem natural to me. Without the title, I wouldn't get where you were going with this.

I love fishing off a wharf... a little less of a vibrant blue might give this photo a bit more 'punch'

I'm trying hard to accept your concept here, but it is too much of a stretch and completely reliant on the title for even that. I like the composition, but I'm not fond of the blue cast.

LOVE the blues. The graduation in the sky is super, and the lighting on the railing is nice, too. Nice placement of the pole. Very good composition. 10
