This is such a good shot but I'm having a really hard time with the horizon being at an angle. I'm not sure if that was intentional but, to my eye, it's really distracting.
I think if the horizon was leveled and the crop done differently I would have liked this one a lot, I like the color tones and the subject and although its not a true underexposure the low lighting works. One thing that really bothers me is the buoy on the right, it looks really out of place and IMO is a big distraction and should have been left out of the shot. Good luck in the challenge.
Normally the crooked horizon would bug me, but it really gives this a great feel, and accentuates the black of the the sky beyond the water that much more, as well as the mist off the water. Beautiful shot.
