From the critique club.
Hi,
I like the composition as it looks straight from a tutorial on composition. The boat and the chairs are placed at nearly the golden intersections. The horizon divides the pic in thirds. The boat cathces the initial attention and leads the eye all the way down to the sea and the waves then direct to vision towards the scattered chairs. This is extremely well organized and cropped (in camera).
I think the ratings for this pic would have been higher in other challenges. I believe that the strong composition creates a drama and arrangement that is not relatable to the challenge as such. Here the drama is directed towards the wild sea and the sky, with very little attention of the viewer being directed towards dirt. I do not know however how in this case you can direct the attention towards the dirt lying around unless you remove the dramatic see and the sky or least put them as a minor third in the picture.
Technically I have nothing to comment on as it appears to have a nice DOF with all the features being sharp.
Nice my criticism is based on my meagre knowledge of composition and photography I would be happy to have any feedback regarding the improvement of the critique.
With regards
Kausik
It was a toss-up for me between this and another photo for the blue (which means NOTHING). It seems like I never get close. The sky is great. You get a real deep, rich feel of dimension. Great color, nice composition. It feels candid even if it wasn't. Super job.
