Do you always purposely shoot for the brown ribbon? if so then its getting a bit tiresome. On the other hand if you really are trying, then you may need to improve your photographic technique a bit.
for example, you shot this on an OK camera, instead of bumping up the ISO so you can hand hold, stick the camera on a tripod, or rest it on a post/bag etc and use the lowest ISO possible but with a longer shutter speed so the shot doesnt need any `noise removal` afterwards. Also, go easy on the sharpening tools, you have a habit of being a bit too agressive with the sharpness slider.
Then again, if you are intentionally shooting for a low score the carry on as you were..

Too grainy & oversharpened

This could be very beautiful. It is so grainy and the colors aren't great. I didn't find it appealing.

Personally, I'm not crazy about that streak. All my eyes see when I look at your photo is the upper left and lower right, when truly it's the middle of your image that is the most interesting to me.

pretty well layed out, but a bit noisy

Over all its a pretty scene but the halo's around the boats and shore make it a bit to choppy. I do like the colours here though. Good luck.

This has much potential but unfortunately is not in focus and is grainy. Nice lines, though.

Rated low, it's an ok type sunset pic (other factors removed), the over turned row boats in corner is a nice touch. The picture is very grainy which doesn't add anything and not sure what the blue streak is but looks like a smudge on the picture rather then something of interest to look at.

intentionally noisy? can't tell

The artifacting from the tone mapping normally bothers me (I don't use it often because of that) but in this case it seems oddly to fit your title. Not sure voters will see it that way, though.

Way overprocessed.

A bit too dark and too noisy for me.
10/01/2007 07:24:33 AM
Natural or effect? There is a lot of noise present in the photo... distracting!
10/01/2007 02:21:00 AM
I'm not sure if this is HDR, but something was lost in the post-processing.
