You have a great subject here and did you best to capture it. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it lacks sufficient contrast, colors or even black and white contrast to capture my attention. In theory, the sunrays could have worked but they didn't illuminate the image enough to make a significant difference. The land on the right and the ship on the horizon are placed nicely but due to the unfortunate lighting just appear like dark smudges. I also wish there had been more contrast to the clouds to make them really pop. You had a perfect composition but due to the lighting that was out of your control the image, in my view, fell flat.   Posted: 04/02/2021 08:11:27

It's a very powerful presentation, the sky and the comparison of sky v.s. landmarks. I like the portion of sky with land/ocean and that makes the focus on the sky. I can't identify the ship till read your comment. I agree with Mike on the sky contrast but that can be adjusted with PS. Good job.   Posted: 04/16/2021 19:20:49

Based on your comments, I went back to the original and started again. Part of the redo was moving the whole image to the right, which also dropped off the unidentifiable ship.   Posted: 04/21/2021 22:51:37

I like the image. I don't find that lack of clarity in the ship takes away from it. It is very much how I feel that ships in the distance look. I do agree with Mike about the pop. I think that the revised image supplies that. I love images of the ocean in all its moods and of ships. The subject matter by itself grabbed my attention.   Posted: 04/30/2021 08:39:08
