I really liked the old time look to this, not just in the coloring, but to
me it had that "feel" of old photos. The composition & background reminded
me of something out of an old magazine.

I thought the sky and water needed to blend more at the horizon, or maybe a
slight focal blur.  I think ocean horizons are difficult to do correctly
anyway, because in real life in bright sunlight the horizon is either
brighter than either the water or sky due to reflection, or the water and
sky just run together and the horizon isn't discernable.

A good job though, and right on topic. I was watching the Brazilian Grand
Prix on tv, and everytime they would show a lap speed, I'd think of this
image.
