The TN looked just up my alley, but the picture didn't quite meet my expectations. I think I can see where you were going, and I'd have been with you there, but in my view we are not quite there yet. The brown/sepia bits all over the place, especially the remains of the waves, and the bits to the left and possibly to the right of the island, would have to go. They have too much of a photo to qualify for what would be a pretty great minimalistic, almost abstract study. I would probably have cropped it considerably from the bottom as well, to bring the island down below the center of the picture. But then again, you may have been going someplace else, and that is fair enough...;)
Judging by the title, you meant to blow out the water and make this look like a negative image. These types of shots do absolutely nothing for me. Art speaks differently to different people.
I do like that you attempted something different. Watch the focus problems, things get a little wonky around the heads of the people in the boat...might be a processing issue too.
