Hi Boris ... I don't understand what you mean by my shot being "very thorough."
Overall I like your photo, but it has some elements in it that lessen its impact. The most glaring, as i see it, is the tilted horizon. It looks about 1 - 1.5 degrees skewed to the right. This tilt, amongst other problems it causes, works against the tilt of the boat. By that I mean since both the boat and the horizon are tilted in the same direction, the skewed position of the boat is given less importance and strength than it could have had. I like the old shoe in the pic. Nice touch. And while I understand what you are doing by including the two people sitting on the wall, I'm not sure they add much, if anything, to the photo, other than being a distraction. Now, Boris, tell me honestly, how many shots did you make of this scene? >From how many different positions did you shoot it? I mainly asked because of the conversations we've been having off list.
