My 1st submision after trying out this camera. A whole lot to learn about DSLR. I\'m trying to draw attention to the small images (boats & Gulls) using the vertical lines in the image. Albeit they're so small.

While this is a nice shot overall, I think you could have achieved your goal of emphasizing the gulls and boats a bit better by cropping out some of the bottom. The patterns in the water are nice but they really do not add a whole lot to the main point of the photo. Personally, I would have cropped so that the horizon line was in the exact center of the shot. (However, I think this idea may not have done so well with the voters!!)
I like the contrast here. The color is nice, but it does feel a little too fake or processed to me. I would have liked to see some of the oranges brought out a little more, if possible.
The other thing I want to mention is: Your horizon is obviously straight, but the way the clouds are just gives a bit of a tilting feel to the photo. But this is a very minor point, and doesn't affect my initial impression of the shot.
I have probably sounded very critical but the main thing is that your image is very nice to look at and I am just nitpicking some things to hopefully be helpful. Congrats on a nice, peaceful, and beautiful shot.
A bit too much pink in the picture for me. It takes over the whole phot and makes me think the color may have been off. Perhaps if the pink had been graduated over the water ending in a blue, it would have come off better. Not a bad photo by any means, just too pink for my taste.
