Greetings from the Critique Club
Challenge: Meets the challenge description.
Strong points: The 3 overlapping windows combined with colour on B/W give this scene a lot more interest than it might have had all on its own. The sky is beautiful. The little sailboats draw you in.
Possible weak points: Very strict interpreters of "triptych" had a problem with this. The image looks a bit overprocessed. It is a rather centred composition, even though the horizon line is not at centre.
Technicals: The exposure/shutter speed combo you used looks to be right on. Your presentation is excellent. The processing looks (to my eyes) just a bit too strong (oversaturation in the coloured areas, too much contrast at the expense of detail).
Overall: A beautiful entry for Triptych, and you got an excellent score to go with it. Congratulations!

I think the color parts or overprocessed... EG: Your water is green and your clouds look overly Heida'd. But the overall idea is great!

Great creative take on what a triptych is. I love this idea of sat on desat and that you took the extra step of angling the frames. |

I am not usually a fan of the fake divisions but this works very well. OK, I am assuming one picture with drawn borders and selected desat and maybe you actually put together several photos, which would be even more impressive. Regardless, I like the effect very much. |

I really like this one. The different placement of the three photos/sections is great, and the black and white background forces me to look at the coloured sections. I think that the colours could have been slightly lighter/brighter. However this is one of my favourites. |

I like the color portion and i like the unique take you have on the theme.
but i do think the black and white portion is lacking a little punch.
i know it's not the major part of the image, but it sticks out to me. |

Technically, this is 4 panels and the rules call for 3.. The background that's in b & w is the image too, plus the 3 panels you've left in color. The picture is divided into 4 images.. That being said, it's very beautiful. It's a 10 for me and I hope it doesn't get dq'd becuase of that.. I love the way you separated the images in the middle.. |

this is a very nice capture but the clouds seem over worked in the color portion. the frames here are very nicely placed, i like the balance of this. |
