A lovely scene, and I'm liking the red buoy.
On the downside, I keep noticing the slight yellow tones right at the bottom of the image.

Not entirely sure how I feel about the border, but I'm loving that little smirk!

There is so much I would love to say here, but I won't.... just in case you didn't do this on purpose.

If this was truly to the best of your ability, then I'd like to offer my help. Send me an email if you feel like it.

Pity about the "title".... was that an accident?

I adore the atmosphere in this image. I'm not marking you down for it, but I so wish there was a little steam coming from that cup.......

This was one of my two favourites - glad it got a ribbon. Gorgeous shot!

Except ME...... I was the only one that dared express something other than glowing praise, hence mine was the only comment not marked by you as "helpful".

Don't get me wrong..... there is much to like about this photograph, which is the very reason why I even bothered to comment. It is gorgeous.... I just felt (and still feel) it would be better if it showed me what I am sooooo dying to see!!!

I do find it a little sad, though..... just because I didn't call you a GOD, that doesn't necessarily mean my comment should be the only useless one.

Isn't there a chance that even negative, constructive critism could be useful to you in some way? Doesn't it still tell you something about how your image connected with some people? Could you honestly not find something "helpful" in such a comment?

This is the very reason I so rarely bother to comment these days...... I just don't believe in gushing praise when I feel I could, instead, add something remotely useful. And yet, unless you call somebody "God's gift to photography", a comment is rarely welcomed.

All the best to you, though.... your photo is mostly very lovely!

What a strange way to compose/crop this - cutting off the very thing that this is all about. What is he doing? I so want to see his other hand!!!!
