GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Indeed, a flawless, glorious sunset, handled well. It is so difficult to get a decent sunset picture, probably just because the sun creates such havoc with our camera settings.

As usual, your post processing is very well done.

Now, composition. I think it does suffer a touch from that odd little half-a-structure to the right. One tends to go over there and try to figure it out, rather than enjoy what is right in front.

Meeting the challenge? Well the top half of your piece does, perfectly. the bottom half with that beautifully shaped, but very dark boat appears to be more 'heavy' than 'delicate' and that may have swayed the voters from giving a higher score.

However, all in all, it's a lovely piece and I enjoyed having the chance to look at it again; this time more carefully.

As always, I look forward to seeing your work.

Great toning. I'm curious about the PP. You managed to capture both higlights and shadows just perfectly. I would just saturate it a little bit more.
8*

I don't know what that is on the right hand side of the pic but I think it takes away from the overall feel of this image. I think cropping that out would have helped.
