Sky's a little noisy. Otherwise, beautiful.

I wanted to score your photo at 10. I'm not expert but I see two things that are keeping me from doing that. I think the horizon/vertical are leaning a little to the left and the sky (top left) could have been smoothed out just a tad: it looks kind of pixelated to me. Despite those two knit-picky things I'm still going to score it pretty high at 8.

the sun & boats are beautiful, but the sky above the sun looks unaturally devoid of color.

I'm finding rit ather difficult to differentiate between the clouds, water and masts. Could be an issue with the lighting and/or post-processing, or potentially my monitor.

Good exposure. Perhaps HDR to get the shadows brought out?

I won't be the first nor the last but i'll say it anyways. Centering the sun didn't help this shot at all. I like the colours and tones in the sky and the silhouetted masts also add mood to this fine capture. Also, the horizon being centered didn't help either. More water or more clouds would have enhanced the whole scene.

Would this be Cooper River in South Carolina? Love the sky and the rough, rippling water. *7*

Wonderful processing... love the colors, the composition and the sun coming through.

Nice sun and reflection.The masts look good too. The sky above the sun didn't come out that well in the post processing imo.
