    It’s true-to-life. Any AI could make a “clean” image, I don’t think you should edit out the ugly bits.

    For my critique, this POV does not distinguish the boat on which this work is being done from a dock with rails. That boat is at least half the subject of the shot. Only someone who knew what a boom or a mast was to begin with would be able to identify this as a sailboat.

    I think a crop like this is all it needs. I like the colour and balance in this version. It’s quiet and contemplative while at the same time showing motion, activity.

    I like it!

    What I feel is that the central subject doesn’t stand out (I actually don’t know who/what the central subject is, more precisely). The man for some reason seems to blend into the surroundings. May be some color correction might make it better.

    I really liked it straight away but my eyes got confused where to look because it seems the focus of the photo, the man working, is too busy with the bike in background

    What were you trying to achieve and what would you like critique on?

    Generally? I like the scene - and ironically I love the colors. The reds, yellows and blues are nice. But it’s rather busy overall for me. The bicycle is on equal footing visually with the man and competes for attention. The blue/red items in the left-side corners are bright enough to pull my attention to the edge and away from the man as well.

    I feel like I want more of the “man” and less of the “stuff on the boat”.

    I cropped in on him as an example of what I’m thinking - though it does lose the port background and some context of it being a “boat”:

    But it’s your photo. This is to my taste not yours.

      Kinda agree on the noise of the bike, disagree on the crop. I enjoy how the bench, mast and beam(? Not a boat guy) frame him, focused on his work.

      Not much to be done about the bike, it was there and they had to work with it.

    Well I really like it. But if I had to crititque it, i’d say maybe a little too much happening there. A cleaner background and maybe edit out the ropes on the top left corner. Maaaybe also edit out the dead body in a bag infront of the bike. Just feels a lil too cluttered.

    Really like the way youve worked with lines in the composition. Great job!
