alright C&C time.
mana, as a rule i love your work, but this shot i dont think is one of your strongest. it's a little one-dimensional for my taste, i cant find an element of it that "wows" me. if the sailboat is the focus, it seems small and inconsequential, and if not, i dont know what is!
edit - as a sidenote, i like the new frame!

The sailboat is too small within the frame, and it's smack dab in the middle, as is the horizon. Also, the colours of the water and the foliage (a bit too hazy?) in the background are too similar, IMHO.
I think the frame is a bit to wide for the image.

Mark, let's see.. The sky is very boring *light blue and very washed out. The crop is fine. I know your aiming for the light house, but it seems kind of blown out and not catching my attention. Try adjusting the sky and do a level gradation outward from the light house

it's better, but as senna said, for some reason the water and the background are so similar in colour it's really creating a somewhat ugly image since it's so overpoweringly blue. unless the sailboat was much more prominent, i just dont see it working really effectively.
but just my $0.02.

For me at least, I just don't like how mono colour the whole image is - it's not a really pleasant colour. I'm not trying to be obstinate, but so far I just havent seen anything that's changed my mind about that photo.
What's a level gradation?
How about this one?

I've never taken the kit lens off so I suspect it's just on the lens itself, but I wouldn't want to scratch it.

Saw this guy at the Powell Street Festival on Sunday. He had a Yashica SLR, 2 Nikon SLR's & 2 Leicas - an M3 and an M4! All film cameras...I wonder who he is?
