This one is quite striking, with the two in-focus points, near and far.

I'm usually not a fan of such a strong gradient in the sky, but it forces the eye to the bride.

I was thinking that I didn't like the orange raft there, but actually I think it's the white panel I don't like. Not that you could have done anything about that, though.

But I really really like that the rope in front is in focus, too, and I'll have to think about how that was done. I was thinking selective focus stacking, but the motion of the craft against the background would make that rather iffy.

Very nice image, in my own unworthy opinion.

Thanks for the feedback! I will think about the white panel! I may just remove it!

I think they are too far, I can barely see the bride´s face and, you have tons of water/sky and a little of your customers.
I think that it would look much better if the boat made a U-turn( sun on the right side, instead of the left).
Compared to the (amazing)photos on your website, this looks pretty bad.

Excellent. Very Brenizer-ish with the selective focus and the lighting.

The blurring seems like it was done in post, specifically the part near the rope. Did you light the couple with a strobe?

I can see how the white panel would distract. Not sure how you could get rid of it convincingly (maybe you can), but I might just try darkening it, so that it isn't competing with the subjects.

The angle, focal length, and color palette are very pleasing. Love the juxtaposition of sea to sky - and the splash of red.

Very creative and effective image.

If this was the only picture you took I would say it is too far away but as one of several shots it sets the mood of the boat ride. I do think the horizon is of a couple of degrees. Over all as one of a set of pictures I like it, Jeff

I have at least 100-150 images similar to this on the boat. This is only one of the set, of course. I just picked this because I thought it was the most interesting. I don't want to bore you with wedding photos which are usual....
