I like it. The processing isn't for everyone, but I think it works nice in this photo.

Assuming the paddle boarders are the subject, two comments: 1) they're very close to the edge and 2) there's a lot of negative space that I'm not sure adds to the photo.

Thanks. Yes the paddle borders are the main focus. Tried to capture them paddling into the frame. The background directly behind them was very bland

I like the photo but I think it could be improved. The horizon seems to be slightly tilted to the bottom left. I like the effect you're going for, however, I think it would be better if you went with a duotone/split tone to add a little drama.

I kind of like the negative space, I feel like it adds to the sense of scale given by the mountains. I like the shot a lot!

A little rotation to level it, and a less-pronounced vignette and you'll have it nailed

I appreciate your feedback guys. I'll post the original when I'm home later and I'm willing to dropbox the RAW file if anybody wants to play with it
