I would crop this to just below the boat. I find that black stand quite distracting.

Maybe a bit more lighting. The overall shot looks too dark. Jacko 6

INITIAL RESPONSE: Quick spontaneus shot. Some blue. Technical flaws (composition)

COMPOSITION-CONTENT - The composition is not very good I think. as it is , it does not tell us anything. Too bad because the expression looks promising. If it is your originial idea of composition then it should show the the person in full or you might get closer. the picture is 'tilted' without bringing anything special. (see very good comment of derekleung about the composition of your shot)

BACKGROUND : Would have deserved to be more blurred as its not very interesting to 'detacht' the person more.

CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL- It's probably a 'passing shot' (pun not intended) but it would have been really better if you could have had time to copose the shot better.

DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - Looks a little noisy and maybe oversharpen a little.

MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - The person was a good candidate for a nice 'people shot' if you could have take your time. As it is I think it's a little 'missed' even if you had the eye to see the potential of this person.

Composition: 6
Sharpness/Focus: 8
Meets challenge: 6 (While I don't think a blur is absolutely needed to show motion, I also dont feel like this particular image gives me a sensation of motion, which is what I'm personally looking for)

Not a bad picture. I bit bland for my taste. This is a little better than average. My average is about 4.5 so good job.
