Interesting, but too dark. It looks like he is wearing giant weird shoes, because it's so dark you cant see the boat... :s

Sky light (ambient lighting) illuminates everything, not just your subject...

author says:

oh well, I can see the boat,...maybe it is just your monitor that is not in cooperative mood with your eyes hehehe....and the water, the sky, the boat and the figur are all the subject to me.....

I've got a calibrated Eizo monitor and I too had to look twice to see the boat in the small version. In the full res I can see it well though. Folks, full res are here to be looked at!

Really nice work, like the light, the fact that it's mainly on the subject adds to the eerie look. Unfortunately the boat is too blurred and does not meet the focus of the rest of the image . Maybe due to enlargement, the source seems rather small. Might have been worthwile to look for a better fitting source. Have look at this: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=download&id=1216047 Just in case you want to give it a try.
Good luck!

I have to agree with Derivatix about the boat ...it does seem a bit blurry compared to the rest of the image but all that aside great work. Love the way the light catches on the edge of the sword! Overall a fine image (lighting works for me ... in hi res with a calibrated monitor)

Well I can see the boat on my super deluxe pooper scooper monitor I bought on sale from the little old lady that lives down the road who mashes cherries into a paste to rub on her cheeks to make herself feel pretty... shish kabibbles.. when did the world get so Uptight? It's a really smart and nice image author.. good luck

Nicely done, love the monochromatic look to this, it gives the image a kind of eerie feel. My small monitor is nothing special and I can see the boat just fine.
