Very cool shot. The composition is exquisite. I would go ahead and crop a little more on each side (so as to eliminate the partially visible boats). Also, the glare is a little harsh - detracting from the detail of the water and the boats themselves. And by this I don't mean get rid of the shimmer - I like that a lot. I think though that you could reduce the backlighting enough that it leaves the shimmer, yet allows you to recover some of the lost detail in the water and boats.
I like the overall blue color of the image, but the sky seems a bit grey - maybe a little more "umph" on the colors there. Also, by bringing out more detail in the water & boats, I think you'll find that you can eke out a bit more variation of colors without detracting from the "blue" feel of the shot.
Very nice. Just my 2 cents... |
