Jpeg compression has really hurt this image :-(  Which is a shame because it's
clever and interesting. I don't know if you were aiming for realism on the
boat,
but with the good landscape behind it the bright clean colours really stand out
and are a bit jarring. Also the way the water meets the land is a bit strange.

Artistic - Wow!  Looks like something out Canadian Geographic Magazine!
Technical - Nice attention to detail on the boat.
Concept - Multiple contrasts, high marks!

A beautiful backdrop.  The mountains, sea and sky are 
magnificent.  The boat unfortunately looks very computer 
generated.
Technically: the modelling is quite good (though you lost 
a point for the two incredible triangular peaks on the left 
side of the left moutain). The boat textures are not very 
realistic.  The problem is no natural/organic 
noise..meaning the door is solidly, perfectly red.  The hull 
is cleaner than it would be brand new.  Look at the grass 
and mountains - note the slight shadows caused by the 
irregularities in the rock (a combination of bump map and 
image map is my guess).
Excellent concept.

Nice scene, although the background looks a lot more 
photo- realistic than the foreground.  Interesting 
concept.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Oh, this is outstanding.  The level of detail, modeling, visual contrasts,
are all excellent!
The "land of contrast" and almost cartoonish colors give the image a
perfectly balanced ironic feel.
If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to tilt the camera down a tiny
bit, to de-emphasize the sky and bring the boat a bit more into the scene.

The slightly bland textures on the ship do bother a bit, 
but the rest of the image makes up for it :)
