Could not find point of focus in first shot.
Second shot is better; pin-rail and belaying pin add nice background touch, but are soft enough to not detract from lines (ropes).

Post them directly on here in the Photo Gallery or Photo Analysis section and you will probably get more comments.

Thank you, Mogul. Looking back, I should have shot it at a smaller aperture (W/ Higher ISO and slower shutter) to get a larger DoF.

Live & Learn... Thanks again!!

The first shot has no in focus areas. Can you reshoot? Both shots have great composition. I love your unique way of looking at things.

Eveline,

I wish that I could reshoot. The boats are gone. But I will make sure to have a defined plane of focus and smaller aperture next time the opportunity arises.

Thank you for your feedback!

[quote=jttrey3] I am not real fond of blurry objects in pictures. I do like the subject of boat equipment and blue sky. The composition is fine. David

Nicely done, NorthsideJoe.

I missed the contest. In my pice, I was playing on the term "Lines" both in photography and in sailing.

I will look through the submissions.
