Would appreciate comments on this night time shot

(1/2) > >>

Chiggs:
I took this last night shortly before midnight using an 8 second exposure on my Nikon D70.  I was primarily trying to capture the mood of the water.  If I was going to submit it, I think I'd have to blur the names of the boats but otherwise, what do you think?

Sorry - I've been trying to insert the actual pic here but it doesn't seem to be working for me...

It's a very nice picture Chris, but perhaps a little on the dark side.

Also, you will definately have to remove any visible names or serial numbers on the boats. It may also be slightly blurred at 100%, or could be my eyes!

Overall, I like it but it may need a little work IMO to be more stock marketable.

Hope this helps

rjmiz:
I don't like it
It's too dark
Very little or no detail
Boats are too far away
It has an orange color cast I don't like
The horizon in smack in the middle of the frame

takestock:
Not sure if it's sharp enough or not, but the pic does have a certain mood and is quite appealing.

If you can get it tech right it's worth a shot.

CJPhoto:
tad to dark for me.

Plus it will never be sharp because boats will move over an 8 second period (this isn't a bad thing, just somethignto account for when doing composition).
