the picture was taken in the late afternoon, after i took a swim, and those islands over the sea looked so great, like they are going to vanish any minute...

I like the muted colours in this shot a nice overall tone. However the fundamental error is that the horizon is not level. Also having the horizon on or about the midddle of the shot does not usually work very well. Its generally better to have the horizon on the top or bottom third of the photograph, depending on what you what to emphasise, the sky, or the sea.

this is a nice shot but some easily fixed technical stuff is lacking. for instance, the horizon is crooked... can easily be fixed in the digtal darktroom and the water seems a bit underexposed which could have been shot with an ae finction.

Not a parrallel ine in sight but I really like your take on the challenge. Great perspective and title and they do look like they're dissappearing especially the two on the left

Where's the vanishing point?! And did you put the mountains in yourself?!

The water is very dark. Not the blue I would expect to see in this type of photo. I also would have cropped it differently (this is only IMO, I have been reading about the rule of thirds lately). Sky seems kind of bleached out to. I gave you a 3.

This shows a horizon line but it does not show a vanishing point. There should be parallel lines converging at an invisible point in the distance. Your horizon is a bit tilted.

Tilted horizon, and not really meeting the challenge.

Drab photo, want more color. Don't like the shot divided right in half like that. Prefer asymmetrical balance and no tilt - 5

Horizon needs to be level and 1/3 from top or bottom.

Maybe a bit more detail and better focus would of given this more interest. Seems flat.

I'd like to see you straiten the horizon, move it to a lower third, and adjust levels and contrast to make this a better photo. 4

A nice idea, but the picture's color isn't too attractive, and it's a bit soft.

I see a few problems with this photo
1. The horizon is crooked
2. The horizon runs throught almost the middle of the picture
3. There is no real focus (Subject)
4. Seems hazy / flat. Perhaps another time of day would give better results)

I don't think it meet the challenge requirements.
08/11/2004 03:22:40 AM
the vanishing point seems to have vanished
08/11/2004 02:53:16 AM
sorry, i can't see how this meets the challenge, with the lack of parallel line the pic actually gives a feeling of expanse rather than convergence

no vanishing point
