Traveling by boat

EJ, I think the random photo disher outer likes giving me your pics to critique :-) So here goes number three from me.

The first thought that hit me when I looked at this pic is the serenity of the scene. The water is dead flat, no one to be seen anywhere and the sunrise going through its phases in the background.

Contrary to what you wrote in your description I think the sunrise is awesome enough. I think more clouds would only have darkened the image too much and dampened the effect you have captured here. The photo is on the darker side, especially where the boat is concerned but I don't find this a negative point.

It does seem a little tight to me though. I am not sure you had the possibility but I would have tried stepping back a few steps to get more of the boat into the image. You could have also done this by using a landscape format, although I don't think you would have captured the total impact of sky and water with the same effect as you have here.

Congratualtions on another fine photo and am looking forward to seeing (and critiquing) more of your work.

I love the geometry of this shot - and I love this style of architecture. Your composition is very good and technically it has been well executed.

Excellent composition, well balanced. The exposure could be a little less so the top of the picture is less washed out.

Interesting layers here ... flowers building and sky. Good job. Looks like a wide angle lens. Good capture. Jacko.
