From the critique club.
Hi,
I like the composition as it looks straight from a tutorial on composition. The boat and the chairs are placed at nearly the golden intersections. The horizon divides the pic in thirds. The boat cathces the initial attention and leads the eye all the way down to the sea and the waves then direct to vision towards the scattered chairs. This is extremely well organized and cropped (in camera).
I think the ratings for this pic would have been higher in other challenges. I believe that the strong composition creates a drama and arrangement that is not relatable to the challenge as such. Here the drama is directed towards the wild sea and the sky, with very little attention of the viewer being directed towards dirt. I do not know however how in this case you can direct the attention towards the dirt lying around unless you remove the dramatic see and the sky or least put them as a minor third in the picture.
Technically I have nothing to comment on as it appears to have a nice DOF with all the features being sharp.
Nice my criticism is based on my meagre knowledge of composition and photography I would be happy to have any feedback regarding the improvement of the critique.
With regards
Kausik |

| Beautiful pic. Is that dirt, though? Not sand? |

| Great direction, and this should score well. Focus, focus, focus in the sky. An otherwise 9 in my book. 8. |

| Not to bad at all, as I like the eerie feeling, that you have achieved, with the sky water and sand/dirt..... |

| Well, the dirt is sorta an afterthought here isn't it? It's a nice exposure although you have quite a halo on the horizon. 5 |

| Love it, but, and this is my opinion only mind you, remove the left two chairs and the lounge chair on the right. |

| I like the "off" balance of it. Why on earth are there chairs scattered about? Makes for interesting questions as to why and what. 7 |

| Nice pic, with perfect positioning of subjects imo. The colors also match well. I would neverthless like to see a clearer association with the topic. |

| Good seascape, but don't seem to me to be on target for the challenge. I like seeing the weather, but would not want to be there. |

| It was a toss-up for me between this and another photo for the blue (which means NOTHING). It seems like I never get close. The sky is great. You get a real deep, rich feel of dimension. Great color, nice composition. It feels candid even if it wasn't. Super job. |
