Great shot. Love the composition and choice of the red tone with the border. The square tip of the shoe and that of the boat go very well together. The most interesting shot this challenge. Very artistic. I would have called it view to a suicide myself. 10
Moving and well taken. Framing around the photo seems a little excessive. Coloration - doesn't do anything for me. On a less serious note: unless you're planning on landing on a boat, I think you need more altitude to ensure it's more than just an attempt at suicide. 6 Swash
great photo. Interesting perspective. I cant help but notice though that the bright (maybe too bright) red border isn't the same all around. nevertheless, i love it.
Totally awesome shot. Meets the challenge perfectly PLUS has the "wow" factor. Great composition and I love the tones. The little white spots in the shoe really make the whole thing "pop" - and it's echo by the boat below gives a great feeling of depth. 10
Fascinating image. Great use of color. I wish you hadn't put the red outline. I think it's destracting of the image itself and it didn't need the extra dramatic effect I feel you tried to achieve with the red outline. I wonder how you shot this one and look forward to your comments after the challenge. 8/10
