This is my third submission and a little more to my liking. Of course any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated. This was the first time I went out to the marina and I filled my memory card with all the photos I took. I really liked this shot for some reason and wanted to see what everyone else thought.

Hi Scott,
This has the making of a wonderful image I hope you still have the image on file. I think you just got caught in photographers no mans land. What I mean is the cloud cover is nice and whispy great formation but not being very thick allows to much sun to get through. A polarizeing filter used correctly here may have helped to reduce the glear, or cropping out the sun all together and useing a warming filter would have helped. There is a nice warm golden glow to the image and bringing more of that out replacing the sun would have helped you greatly here. Like I said if you still have the image try cropping out the sun and try a plug-in to enhance that golden glow, I think you will be very pleased with the outcome.

there is too much glare from the sun, otherwise, it would be a nice capture

I wish there were more focus on the boat. Pretty image and nice composition.

Good composition and rule of thirds. It has the makings of a very good picture, but the sun is overpowering and the boat isn't sharp. Hard to resolve shooting into the sun.

Maybe add a little contrast? So much looks hazy.

Very peaceful scene and your composition is very nice. The sun is a little to bright for my taste, it detracts from the peacefulness of the scene (yes I know you were shooting into the sun so there is probably little you could have done to make this better, its just a comment).

Nice picture of a beautiful day...Just a little too bright for my taste.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
