Comment from GrampianPhotographic


Nicely framed & composed image with an interesting sky and good colour harmony. Appears slightly off focus with the horizon tilted down to right - DoF might be greater with at least f/11 and if you have -2 degrees angle rotation in PS. Hope this helps. Rating salvaged some by the power of the image. Phil

    Sorry for my late reply.
    Thank you. I appreciate your review and your suggestions. I can't see the horizon tilted. I even checked with the program. IT's a bit hidden by the housings but I believe the horizon is going down at the left too, do to the wide angle. Am I wrong?

    I think so. I measured it on screen - On the right, the horizon is 59mm from the bottom edge. On the left it's at 64mm. (on my view, obviously).

    OK, I may have accidentally another cropping version resized. I will rezise the version what should be in again and replace the current picture. I can't see it right on the net. My laptop screen is to small.

Great color harmony and presentation with the lighting. I really like the clouds, they add visual interest and movement to this great composition. Good focus and center of interest.

Quite a dramatic cloud scene on the horizon. Looks like a storm might be brewing. The blues of the water are very tropical and very inviting. The lone boat and white sand top off a perfect for a vacation on the beach. Well composed with good impact. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for your kind review. Yes its a storm. There are already rain bands on the horizon. Five minutes later it was changed to an heavy thunderstorm.
    Sorry for replying late.
Comment from Tripod


This is beautiful... both the area and your capture of the whole scene.
Beautiful colours including the clouds and sky.
Although the boat is quite modern the scene could be the same for many, many years.
Good clarity and good to view. Good luck in the competition.

This is so lovely cleo! I love the overall shot here! the sky is so wonderful with the array of clouds and the ominous type of sky. The water is a lovely turqoise and your focus with the light is ideal for the shot. Wonderful composition with good settings!

    I'm so sorry for my late reply as thankful for your great review. That's the price we for living in this paradise. A storm broke our power lines and our main antenna wiping our Internet out for about two weeks.

This is really a beautiful shot of an all time favourite subject matter.Seascape.The colours are awesome and the fading light and the skyline with converging clouds add mystery. Finely composed and timed this makes an interesting viewing.

    Thank you Lisa, I appreciate your review very much. Sorry for being late.
    The focus were set on the rain bands at the horizon what was probably a mistake.
