I love the comp. The little boat plays well with the position of the sun. This contrast in the clouds vs sky is nice. I love skys that give the feel of montion.

Congrats, and I really hope it stick.


Thanks for your comment. I used red filter when I took the shot and added some colours in post processing, which is allowed in basic editing. Thanks again.

sweet !

back for second comment...im leaving this a 6 because as much as id like to give it an 8 for composition and other technical reasons , the photo is way too purple. you achieved this through editing, as I have done the same on mine, but purple water? nevertheless a nice photo.
