Very soft all over unfortunately, I suspect this might be an extreme crop of an image as it has that kind of look to it.

It's a shame as the subject is quite nice and had the boat been positioned more the right of the frame (on the 3rd) and the whole thing been tack sharp I think this could have scored quite well.

Very poor quality, which is a shame, as this scene and those colours would've looked really nice if this were in good focus.

If this were in focus, it would really be pretty... the colors and reflection are well seen.

I'm guessing this to be a Whiterook entry.

Added: I feel I owe you a better explanation, since I did give it a low vote and I know that I hate getting a low vote and not knowing why someone thought it was so bad.

The main thing I see is a very soft, unclear image without a lot of detail. My best guess is that this is an extreme crop from the original shot. Your image is also only 500 pixels along the longest side. You should use the full 640 pixels allowed for the challenge on at least one edge. That makes maximum use of the limited size we are allowed.

I popped this pic into PaintShop Pro out of curiosity. Some quick adjustments of levels and curves really brought out the beautiful fall colors. I sharpened it a bit as well, but that can't do too much when the detail is not there in the first place. I was unable to bring out any detail at all from the sail or its reflection. Those highlights are washed out and there was no detail there to pull in.

Hope this was helpful for you. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.

For me this picture is much too uot of focus, I wouldve liked to see it in more focus. Overall the colors are superb and it almost looks like a painting

Too blurry for me and there is a lack of contrast, colors are really whitish.
