Thanks for all the nice comments, when I spotted this shot I had very little time to perfect it as the yacht was emerging from the mist rapidly, I considered retaining more sea but my final crop really represented my vision so I stuck with it.
Thanks again
This is just such a beautiful picture! I personally think it was worthy of a much higher score and placement (like maybe the score of the commenters) but having a photot like this in your collection can't be bad no matter what the score.
Impeccable composition - very clever to use that slight drift from the very strong lines of frame to impose a near-invisibility on your subject, and yet maintaining great detail, and wonderful tonality through the frame. It would, i suspect, be a hit as a print. It diesn't actually speak of minimalsim in the srtistic sense, but certainly within our challenge description, it does: the subject is too uncomplicated for the art guys, I would say.
this is great! i really like the tight crop on the bottom, but i don't think it'd hurt to show just a *little* more of the ocean (maybe a 50% increase)
This image is presented with such lucidity...not the subject but the spirit of the challenge. It is an image I envy because long ago I shot a similar one in Lake george with a rowboat and a yellow sail jacket in the distant fog. Well, you have my congratulations here because the negative space is employed here with a high skill level. My favorite for this challenge. You get the big bump. P.S. this image is so good i am placing it in my fav list right now.
Obviously meets the challenge no question about that. I like the effect of the fog but at the same time I wish the subject was a little more focused just because it is a little lost in the vastness of the entire image. I think for this challenge I understand why you chose to make the subject so small – but I think you could have cropped a bit of the sky out (while still maintaining the off center composition) and you would have still met the challenge while making the subject just that little bit bigger.
No question that it meets the challenge. It's atmospheric, but my impression is that the boat is just a little too weak a focal point and the haze is just a little too monotonous.
This is so close to being brilliant - for me, I would have preferred the subject a little higher in the frame. I know that means more (darker) sea but it is too close to the bottom of the frame.
