Normally, I'd like to see the boat entering the photo, but considering the foreboding sky and the caption, the boat exiting not only works well, but enhances the photo's story. Good job.

Love it! The placement of the horizon line to emphasize the sky, the tiny man vs. nature, his being close to the edge of the frame implying he's almost out of danger

He did make it. Pulled in his boat and ran for shelter (trees).

This is quite lovely. In view of the story here, having the boat leaving the image is appropriate. I really like how small are the man and boat compared to the scene.

I would probably like this image without the boat. The boat does add a lot to the "story" of a guy trying to get off the water before the storm envelopes him. I don't care at all that he is "moving out of the frame". That is the whole point. He is trying to get to a safe area. Well done.

Brilliant and quite beautiful in a scary way. The mood is wonderful and edgy. To make it perfect just level up the distant water line - rotate counter-clockwise a couple of degrees and make us nit pickers happy. Nice work!

Excellent !!! Capturing the boater exiting the frame is an indication to me that his time is about up before all hell breaks loose. Nice capture, I like everything about it.
