Very beautiful, peaceful and inviting. I really must explore Topaz, the colors and lighting are so vibrant. Grand focus with excellent detail and clarity over the frame. The camera techs are fabulous. Great eye for the post work.

It is the composition that really speaks to me in this case. Very water worthy with the boating invitations and the fine gulls flying by. Fishing and boating from the village. Beautiful rocky shoreline - the perfect shoreline for this fantastic story. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

ok, i have to slap you around a little on this one. smack smack! because you need to re-shoot this scene next time without the lame modern boat in it and some different lighting if possible. i love the old boat with the bird and the scene itself though. looks like a really cool place ;)

    Thank you for the review. It actually got the second place in the contest, so it could not have been that bad. LOL

This photo has the message "Its Summer" all over it. Its in the sun bathed landscape and the white clouded, summer-blue sky. Who wouldn't like to be in vacations right there? Going out with those boats must be an unforgettable experience. I like how this seascape is composed. The boat on the right draws the eyes and lead the to the smaller boat and the horizon. Unusual as it is, the boat in the middle seems the focal point. It is naturally framed by the wood left and the boat in the foreground. My eyes are lead there first and come back to it after exploring the photo. Best luck for the contest.

This brings back many happy memories of holidays I've spent in the beautiful Greek Islands. You've captured the feeling of a beautiful summer's day here. I like the angle you used for this creating great depth in the view.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Comment from reneesway1


This pictures' initial impact is very enticing and has a WOW factor. As you look at this particular view, you see subtle things that draw you in like the boats and how they are positioned just right, the clouds just light enough to be happy clouds, but the best is the birds and where they are in the shot. You captured them perfectly. This shot tells a great story of a beautiful place on a perfect day.

Wow! This scene is truly idyllic. The blues are the initial impact of color for me. The texture of the stones is my favorite part next the to water, instead of a beach. The boats add interest and a story for your viewer to imagine. Perfect composition. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest!

I like this work because it is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere; The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck!
