The red tint gives the impression of being on a boat/sub when all of the red warning lights are going off. If that was intentional -- good job, if not, well . ..
I can see where you are going with the red lighting effect but its very hard to use red lighting in a home environment and get the drama you see on TV. The all red lighting you see on many movies is actually supplemtned VERY heavy with white light and highlighted with red.
Good way to get red light real well is with flashlights. Get 2, use one with a white bulb and one with a red bulb or red plastic over the lense and play with the various angles. This is light cheap stage lighitng.
Interesting photo but I don't particluarly like the red glow.. I know that this is relaying the sense of the 'sinking' ship but it just isn't grabbing me...
I'd probably add some contrast and run the Unsharp Mask filter. OR...I might have tried to change the overall coloring to a bluish-green to make it look as though it was taken underwater.
I like the composition of this photograph, and the use of red is very compelling. I do believe that the subject should have been in focus a little more.
Wow, very red. Was this to give the feel of an explosion? Since this boat has been destroyed, and the one in the background at least hit, I think I would have added at least a couple of misses to the shot to add some realism. I also have to admit, I don't think the red works. This is a clever idea for a macro, and I think that alone could have carried it off -- especially if you moved one or two of the ships so all you saw around them was "water" and some misses. Finally, the focus seems a little soft -- either better focus taking the shot (preferable) or at least some sharpening during post-processing.
