Sky needs detail.

I like it, one of the better sun reflections. The light on the
boat looks good also.

Nice looking image... like the reflection on the water... the horizon is a bit
too harsh.

From tony@j4tb.com:
Your scene has a "modelic" look. Though this look doesn't do much for your
technical score I really like the image. It convey's a sense of peace.

Color combination is pleasing to the eye.

Could be a very nice image, but the technicl aspect should be better, more
details etc. to make it look more real.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Not bad.
Too blue a sky maybe.
The boat is missing some level of details (beams for instance).

Interesting use of color.  For the most part it seems to 
work, but I don't really care for the banding of colors on 
the land.  The water does seem to have a nice liquid 
feel to it.  The boat looks a touch simplistic, though.

From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
As you say in the text file, the image has to tell a story, and as simple as
this picture is it certainly does that.  One thing that may help the narrative
would be a small rowing boat far off to the right further away from the camera
than the main boat and in shadow.  
The sea looks particularly unrealistic but fits the scene well.  Maybe the sun
should be samller, and how about area lights in front of the boat, the lower 
section of the hull seems to be in deep hard shadow.  The yellow light spilling
out of the boat onto the water works really well and seems to warm the image up
a bit giving it a slightly tropical feel.  Try making the whole scene a bit
darker
so as not to mess up the light from the boat or anything else just lower the
gamma
in the scene file. 
Great work so far.
