Nice composition but halo around boats is distracting unless you really want that for whatever reason.

Nicely composed, very obvious halo effect perhaps from shadow/highlight adjustments? 5

I really like this shot but I only gave it a 6 because it is so over sharpened, the halos around the boats and on the horizon take away from this beautiful scene for me.

Oversharpening is too obvious. 3

Hi - there seems to be a white outline on the boats, probably from editing the image. The boats could also have been brighter

By virtue of its title you get a good mark from me!!!

I get the strong sense there was a great deal of contrast between the sky and the boats in the original picture and that is why there is haloing around the boats caused by post processing. I applogize if you did this by design, but if it was unintended and you'd like to get rid of it I can suggest a method.

I'd like a little more light on the two boats -- sky is excellent -- I like that it takes up such a large % of the area

lovely composition, but the hull on the left looks rather surreal, perhaps over photoshopped? just that red bit at the bow. Other than that very nice

This has a very painterly quality. Nice work. I only wish the clouds were a little less grey.

Something strange seemed to have happened with the contrast on this one. Or perhaps it's just over-sharpened around the boats...?

Good seeing on this one. Nice composition and a terrific sky to top it all off.

Lots of saturation/lots of sharpness here and it almost works. I think the head on view could of been improved a bit.

Nice compotition, be easier on the USM next time. :)

Over sharpening is evident here, see the bright halos around the boats and the horizon. The foreground is underexposed as well, but it's always hard to make the sky look good if you want the foreground well done.

This has been way over sharpened. You can tell by the glow around the bottom of the boats... Nice composition though.
