Ooo - alllmost. The idea, placement of the chairs, and sunset are all good. But it seems washed out. Bump up the contrast and I bet you'd have a stunner.
Nice pic, caption says it all. I'm not sure about the different lawn chairs. The same two chairs would be less distracting. I would also drop the text down onto a black strip at the bottom of the pic, just for more depth in the photo Right now, I feel the text is taking some of that away, being so high up into the frame...overall 8
You should have used matching chairs. :D Sorry, have to give you a hard time about something! Very nice sunset/sunrise scene with a great sky and calm waters. Relaxing. Ok, one more nitpik - the horizon seems slightly (very) tilted to the left. He-he. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
