Hello from the Critique Club:
I didnât vote in the Rule of Thirds Challenge so this is the first time Iâve looked at your image. My first impression was âThe image meets the challenge and the tilt of the boat looks intentional and provides a dramatic affectâ. I can tell from coloration of the image that your intent was an artistic conversion of the image you captured. However, as stated in the comments by many of the voters, the focus is really blurry and the post processing looks overdone. I would suggest next time you try to shoot from a moving boat or vehicle that you increase your ISO so you can shoot at a faster shutter speed. This should help the blurry focus issue that this image has.
If you like artistic post processing, I say good for you. However, they donât score well at DPC and you should get discouraged over a low score if you achieved the effect you were trying for.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

| I like the tilt in this, but it's just too blurry. |

| Sorry but whatever caused that soft focus/blur and purple coloring, wether in camera or post processing it just isn´t even close to being my taste, I want tack sharp images and that is just how I think. Gave this a 3, sorry. |

| I'm not sure what your goal here is. Everything is out of focus. The horizon appears to be purposely tilted, which is fine for effect, but the challenge is not met well. |

| This picture's lack of being in focus hurts the eyes. |

| This seems like one of those shots that may have been just fine coming straight from the camera, and the editing kinda blew things. Why the weird purple tint? Why the tilt? Why the soft focus? These just seem like some unusual decisions for what might have been an otherwise nice shot. |

| The boat looks out of focus, which takes away from the good composition. |
