Jay, nice use of the Rule of Thirds and the horizontal use of it. Nice and sharp. If I were to nitpick, I'd tone own the blue in the clouds a tad. Very well done, kudos! |

Sanford, you kept to the magic of 3 in the image: 3 building uprights, 3 major clumps of trees, 3 people. Seeing that you're a purist and don't clone things out, I would suggest that you try a long exposure with a tripod and that will get rid of the people. I do a lot of street photography and people don't bother me. In this image, people provide a sense of perspective. I agree with Ian about the bottom left corner podium. |

Ian, a very interesting subject. Given the restrictions you had for this image, I'd go all in on the location. See my image attached. Keep the bow on the right third but use a square crop. Then use some dodging and burning, adjust levels, adjust a curve and make sure you also alter the reflection of the bow. This adds more depth to the image. Add texture or contrast to your liking (which I didn't do). With this crop you still have context with part of the skyline, and the mangroves as well as the bow of the ship are showcased. With a square crop, you can photograph each of the 4 ships and using a square crop have a nice set. |

Which begs the question: Why are you looking at the plates when they have nothing to do with the mural, which is the focal point of the image? The category is Reflection, so the category emphasizes the reflection by flipping the image. Which then prompts the question: Which is more impactful, the original image with reflection at the bottom (which Sanford likes) or the reflection at the top? |

Ian, the contest isn't until April so I've got time to improve on this image. As to your question on license plates, do mean to blur them out? Or do you mean something else? In street photography, what's there is what's there, and no need to blur our car plates unless it's in some news report about something dastardly. What I like about the cars is that they are the same color. |
