WOW....ALL i have to say is gorgeous shot!!...I love how the water is reflecting on the water and gives a very pinkish tint, and the the sky also has that pinkish tint, then the little boat is so cute out in the water!
I like this one. The water seems a little too sharp and the boat a little too out of ofcus though. Also, I would have scored this higher had the horizon line not been in the center of the pic - slightly lower or higher would have given it more 'zing'.
Bizarre, surreal colors, noisy background, and slightly out of focus image. Try using Noise Ninja or some equivalent to clear up the background, and hue adjustment if the shot actually came out this way normally.
Your horizon is nice and level, imo you've met the challenge and the colors are very pleasing. However, there is too much noise in the photo for my liking. Hope this is helpful feedback for your future entries :)
A nicely composed shot, and a pretty scene, but the .jpg artifacts kinda spoil it. Be sure to take advantage of the 150K limit on file sizes -- this is only 37K. This would have been a super shot at a better .jpg compression. :)
Looks like you either cropped this image to small or used digital zoom for it, I can see alot of noise/bitmapping in it. Awesome image! Although it seems like you have two subjects (the sun on the water, and the boat), I think the boat definatly is the strong point, and what keeps the eye in the image. Lovely composition.
I believe this meets the challenge. Artistic quality is ok however the post processing is in question. The tint as well as what appears to show too many pixels. I believe the word is pixelated.
