    Oh my! That is really blue! I like it.

    hmm..

    Do you have a similar shot with just the three boats? I think it would be a strong image with the trio of boats making a triangle against the rectangles of the water/sky. I kinda feel like the person is blocking my view. At the same time I really like this image with the person there and I think it's definitely a keeper.

    I like the idea... a lot actually. But if you could make the sky a paler blue it would look less microsoft paintlike.

    Nice compositon, any chance of getting more detail of the model? Maybe it's my monitor.

    Well now, that isn't bad at all.

    I like the color, I mostly like the composition (although I might like to see a bit more of the model in the frame) but I bet it would work better if you shot from a lower position to get more of that woman in and place the horizon lower in the frame.

    I feel the sky is just to blue. I also think you could crop about half the sky out and make the horizon less centered. I see enough detail in the model that I think that part of it works. I like it though. Nice work

    Nice work. I like the comp,but I agree too much blue.The horizon is in the middle, that bothers me a bit.Overall nice.

    MB1 made some good points...I thought.
