Greetings from the Critique Club!

A very good attempt at a deep DOF shot for the challenge, but there are many issues you need to address. First off, you may want to study up on composition and pay attention to what you could have done to make the subject more interesting to look at. I understand it's berthed, but there are ways to shoot a magnificent ship like this and work with the setting around it. Your ISO is reasonable for a mostly dark subject, but Nikon's infamous noise, even at low ISOs, is evident here. Also watch for the blown-out clouds, always a bugaboo when you're shooting both black and white in the same shot.

Hope this critique has been helpful, do some homework and I hope to see more of your entries soon. Feel free to PM me with any comments or questions. Susan

Perhaps a little more thought into composition here would have helped although the idea was a good one.
