| Composition clean and fine but too much noise everywhere. |

| this is not following the rule of thirds. |

| Horizon is crooked, doesn't quite obey the rule of thirds, and is a little blurry, but I LOVE the subject :) |

| When I mentally divide your photo into an equal tic-tac-toe grid, the intersecting points of interest fall into the sky and water. Also, the photo looks more pixelated compared to other entries in the challenge. It might have better impact if that sailboat was a bit higher and further into the photo. Good concept though. |

| I would have fixed the horizon slope. Also the resolution seems quite low. There appear to be JPG artifacts in the sky area. Meets challenge well. |

| You got the horizontal spot on, the boat needs to be moved right to hit the vertical thirds line, not the quarter vertical. |

| I would like this better without the two horizontal lines. |

oh man, a potentially good image hurt by a couple easy to fix things...First, it is hard to find a clean, sharp subject. The thing in the foreground (pier?) was my first thought since the boat is really blurred but it too lacks the sharpness and detail it could have. Maybe a different depth of field would have helped or something as simple as a tripod if you didn't use one.
Second, your colors are rather dull. If you can't adjust this in your camera there are ways to fix this with software, specifically I would adjust the contrast up a bit. A little less exposure (underexpose it) may have also helped this some too.
Lastly, it appears you may have had some issues with compressing it to fit the 150kb limit and ended up compressing it too much. In the left hand part of the sky you can really see some jpg compression artifacts, your image seems to be 17kb so you had a lot of room to play with. Always compress a little at a time. There have been many threads lately about how to compress images, check the forums or pm me if you need more help.
Good luck |

| Blurry, nothing's really in focus and though this is rule of thirds my eye more attracted to the white ship than the point of interest. |
