I thought it looked as if the derelict barge had a grass bow wave and looked as if it was afloat ....

I like the idea but not really the shot... would have wanted to see it from another angle or sth...

Too low a contrast and image is really unclear.

I like this idea, the angle seems a bit too low, I'd like to get a better view of what your subject it, I think its a boat, but I'd like to know for sure. I'd also bump the saturation and contrast just a touch to give it some pop. Meets the challenge well.

Nothing special, you should've tried another angle. good luck :)

seems a bit unfocused

I don't know what that structure is but it sure looks like a boat. The long grass really looks like water being pushed aside too. Nice job. There are some unfortunate background elements. A little more color saturation may have aded too. Nice image though.

this is great

Very clever. The tilted horizon lessens the impact of the photo.

Too bad you can't take the old boat from the side view. Would have been much more dramatic.

its not gonna go very far

Very cool!!!

Like it! ... The metaphor is excellent. I'm curious what a more dramatic POV would have looked like. 6

I like the subject and angle of this shot, but I think the time of day that you chose to shoot this pic made it a bit dull. I love the way the grass curls in front of the boat, it truly makes it look like water so perhaps a greater emphasis on that particular part may have helped. It also seems a tad misty in the background, which can also greatly influence the richness of colours. Overall good effort and good luck with the next challenge!
