Personally, I would have supressed the sun in the sky as it is visually dominant and directed the viewers attention more to the boat. Ultimately, you took a picture of the boat...not the sky, so making the boat visually dominant would make sense. Just some constructive criticism. Nice Photoshop work! Nicely done.

Im not a trained professional, merely a enthused amateur, but I do feel I have a gift for natural composition, doesn't have to fit in with text book theory... I doo things my way. If I like the end result then that's good enough for me. If others like it then great... But its nice from time to time to share. I dont want to get pigeoned hole as a logo designer, as I do have many other interests and 'talents' so this post was just a small reminder about other aspects of my creativity.

For me, my eye is drawn along the sparkling pebbles and up towards the sun shining through the dark clouds (or the heavens opening?) The colored boat in the foreground is secondary, with the colour giving it a little personality. There's something about it that reminds me of Philip Dunn, subject matter?, glassyness of the pebbles?, Colour of the boat?. I'm not sure. I enjoy it though! I think its a very interesting picture.

I disagree. The composition works well imo. Starting with the blue boat the eye is lead to the rope/wire coming off it and leads your view down to off centre where it is then pulled up by the bright part of the sky. Bit cluttered in the centre but the two important elements in this picture are the boat and the sky and the eye is lead from one to the other in an ordered fashion. My 2pence worth :-) @ Jeremy.

My eyes get lost and I don't know what the subject is. Clearly the boat was intended to me because of the coloring but it fights with the composition. It does seem as if you are skilled with photoshop though. the composition doesn’t really make sense. My eyes get lost and I don’t know what the subject is.

Works really well. The overall layout of the picture is spot on. May be a slight soft burn along the ridges of the boat just to give it some body, but otherwise a great shot, definitely has a 'wow' factor. Fantastic colour blue. Works really well.
