 I should know better than to go out shooting for a challenge at 6 pm on Sunday evening. Got this uploaded with only a couple of minutes to spare. I did a further edit right after that which brought out more detail, but rollover had already happened. Also had some other shots that may have done better, but didn't leave myself time to pick and choose. Oh, well, it came in on the positive side of a 5.

Looks like it could use a little more DOF, I'd like to see the front edge in focus too.

I like everything about this except the yellow rope. This being advanced editing, I'm sure that there something that can be legally done to tone it down. There is also some focus issues on the hull tip directly above the distracting rope.

My eye kind of runs around looking for something to settle on and consider important.

Nice exposure.
Ordinary angle.
Pale colours lacking contrast.
Don't mean to be negative but this shot lacks interest.

The look of the water is better towards the bottom (soft & wavy). I think showing more of the boat would have had a greater impact.

Just ok... nothing really stands out about this shot.
