Great composition and great, saturated colors. A simple comment for a simple, but beautiful, capture.

If this were a sky challenge, it would win hands down. This is one instance where HDR creating a lasting impression on one hand and detracts from the images impact on the other. Additionally, the image appears to be just so ever over sharpened - it has that kind of feel to it. I think this might have been better working with one of the HDR images used to produce instead of combining to get the HDR effect.

Interesting that you and cryan have a similar theme today with the spooky house. I really like it. The sepia gives it that aged feeling.

Great light falling on the boat! They always look so sad in the off season!

Gorgeous sweeping clouds, great composition. A bit too contrasty for my tastes.

Late-afternoon light, I'm guessing. I like the contrast between the boat & the very dark BG. Especially the way the light hits the little clump of grass at the bak of the boat. The boat leads my eye out of the picture, but the direction of the shadows draws me back in. I agree, NICE!

Doesn't this have a lonely sense? This is a nice blend of textures - the dry grass, the rocks, the boat. NICE
