Correct answer RALPH_L

very noisy sky and chromatic abberation. Maybe the depth of field.

DOF is OK. But other defects like noise and chromatic aberration are abundantly visible. This is a problem of HDR images. There are also additional artefacts visible (

 

 

) as often happens with HDR images. You could slightly straighten the horizon and correct the white balance.

 

As for the composition, it would have been better to move a little away from the boat to get all the bottom and the right stabilizer in the frame.

 

I suppose that a non-HDR-image has more chances to pass.

Since it is already cropped bad, I would even go further and place the horizon on a horizontal Rule of Thirds grid line and the bow of the boat on a vertical line.

Thank you for your reply... but it missed the point.... (or maybe
composition is a "technical issue")

Other replies address sky noise and other chromatic aberation.

All replies are helpful but in action photography the shot can't wait for
perfect framing... It was cropped in camera and not in post processing...
the focus is on the action.

Thanks anyway but the other replies are more helpful from a technical
perspective
