I cannot believe this got such a low score! Well, okay, I guess it's not THAT low, but surely this deserved at least a 6 something, possibly a 7! The voters just don't like dark photos, I guess. :(
Anyways, the atmosphere this evokes... is stunning. It's so subtle - you've got to look at the picture for a second to see it, but it's there. Everything about this is just awesome! |

| Wow! This almost looks like one of the old oil paintings, the tone is similar, and the feel/texture. I like it very much. |

I find it tragic that brilliant low key photograph such as yours get such a low score, this happens over and over. The quality of this image is tremendous, the tone, the composition of the boat and the shore pointing to the main subject. I also love the shots which I assume are from the same night.
 
Keep up the good work.

| I think this may have been too dark for some monitors which is a great pity because it is a truly wonderful image and should have finished a lot higher than my submission. |

It will be interesting to see if this was taken at night or whether it`s a daytime shot that has been post processed to simulate nighttime. Either way, I like it.
The subtle golden tones and excellent composition give it real character.
Hope it`s not too dark for some voter`s monitors. |

The quality of this effort is hard to gauge in a monitor. The image has a very nice feel with the monochromatic tone. |

| Far too dark for my tastes. This shot needed a bit more exposure, and some stronger contrast. Also, it looks like it may be a "night for day" shot.. meaning it was taken during the day, but given a dark cast. If that's not the case, my mistake, but to be honest, that's what it looks like to me. |

The mood of this photo is absolutely great. The exposure and toning is spot on (on my calibrated monitor at least). You see just enough to get a feeling about what's going on; probably some fishermen leaving the boat (I guess that's the idea) and returning home.

| Looks like this one could be interesting if you played with levels to lighten it up. Possibly crop some of the water. |

| I might've liked to see more sky and less sea, just makes me feel kinda closterphobic, but I'm still giving it an 8. I LOVE the tones of this, very lovely. |

| My jaw drops when photograpny meets painting, very elegant. One of a few shots without bright lights which is a relief in this challenge. Good composition and viewpoint and the colors are fantastic. Good job on the border. -10 |

| I've looked at this on all 3 computers in my office, and in all cases find this to be VERY dark. I can barely make out any details. It's definitely a night shot, but I was hoping to be able to make out a little more of what your night subject is. |

| I just recalibrated my monitor, as I do 2-3 times a day depending on the time of day and sun/clouds. So I don't think that's the problem. This is just to dark to make out enough detail to resonate with the photo. It could be your monitor needs recalibration. I also copied your image into PS CS and used levels to adjust it to 0,1,114 across RGB and it works a lot better for me that way. Sorry to seem negative. It's just my opinion. |
