Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hmm, not such a fan of these Matt. In the first one, there seems to be too much contrast on the boat, and too little on the background. The water is good, but I suspect other PP treatments might bring out better in it.
Ditto on the contrast for the second one. The stern of the ship seems too dark, especially compared to the white highlights of the bridge. Composition doesn't give me much to go on either. Sorry. 
Thanks Trent
I guess I am trying to give them a very old fashioned look. Maybe they will print better than they look on the screen. Regards

I agree with Trent. There is something about the treatment that detracts from these images for me. The second one in particular. Peter

Hi Matt,
In the first one, for me the yatch in the back detracts from what you are trying to achieve with making the photo look "old". The horizon thing as well, but that's just me being picky 
The second one doesn't do much for me, not sure what it is. cheers, André Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution. Ansel Adams

Hi Matt, I was actually on that ferry when you took the photo. It's the Proclaim and it was on an outing for the Maritime Museum.
The second photo is the North Korean ship that was dumping drugs off the coast a few years back and was arrested. Can't remember the name but it's at Garden Island. Curly
It's better to seek forgiveness afterwards than ask permission beforehand
Not sure about the first one Matt. Horizon seems a bit off.
The 2nd one would be mint if the sky wasn't pink? Not sure what you were going for with the PP and the results. To me, I think with the whites in the main part of the ship being blown is a bit too distracting. Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone
Come follow the rabbit hole...
