Journey's End & New Beginning

Good luck in the contest! If there is enough time left before it starts, I would resubmit with corrections. This photo definitely needs some major improvements: fix exposure in post processing (this is underexposed); also straighten the horizon (it is slightly off which is distracting); there is a spot on the sky next above and to the right of the flag pole - this comes from the dust on your camera sensor, but it is very easy to take it out in post processing. Also, focus is too soft, in my opinion for a seascape, because your subject here is the island, so it should be in sharp focus. Very sorry for low rating, but the photo needs correction. I can change my rating later if you fix the things I mentioned. On a positive note, this is a very nice view at the Ellis Island, obviously taken from the water. Very nice job choosing your subject because it is interesting to many people. The composition is good because it observes the rule of thirds well. Again, good luck in the contest.
