This is a great exposure! I find it really difficult to keep the sky from blowing out and getting details in the foreground. impressive. It may not have fit the challenge exactly but i think this shot would be a contender in a different challenge.
Color, saturation, and hue are done well. Focus and depth of field are very good.
The green grass in the foreground competes with the rest of the image a bit.
As this is an advanced edititng challege, I would suggest removing the foreground grass that breaks up the smooth lines of the foreground shore, and the objects in the water (bouys?) that are distractions.
The fisherman looks a little oversharpened. There looks to be some sort of processing artifact along his shorts that makes him almost "photo shopped" in.
Thats definately pastel in color. The fisherman is in the right spot, horizon is in the right spot. but, something feels wrong and I can't place it. Perhaps its because Im used to seeing bright vivid color tones. Or maybe its the jet streams drawing the eye away? Maybe the fisherman should be a silhouette. I'm at a loss on it. I like it so Im giving you a 7. The sky looks like someone scribbled it in with sky chalk.
