**Critique Club**

Hi Ken!

Positives:
Meets the challenge well. I like the line of the shore running up right to left. The natural lighting is good.

Possible Improvements:
There is no real contrasting colors here, so the photo looks rather dull. Maybe bumping up the levels and saturation just a tad would help. Seems to have a bit of noise and might be over-sharpened just a bit, as well.

Hope you find this critique helpful. Look forward to seeing your future entries.

Regards,
Chris

Yah! If those are people at the top, I wish they were in the more bottom half... they are need for perspective, and I can't tell what they are!

if the two ice bergs weren't in the lower left corner this shot wouldn't have been nearly as good. compositionaly they give some weight to the left side to counter the right side's dominance, and also give some perspective.
