| You can't have a picture like this without describing where it was, the time of day, what post production effects you used, or changes to original. It's like giving someone a thousand dollar bill that has been bronzed, laminated, and put into one of those clear boxes that are solid. |

| Excellent photo. I love the colors of the sky and the clouds, and the rocks in the foreground, but especially the textures of the boats and their reflections. I hope this one gets a ribbon - 10 |

|
12/07/2005 01:20:47 PM |
| Ok, that's pretty amazing. So far, my pick for a ribbon. One small nit, the sky, at the upper left top, "looks" dodged and burned. I don't mind dodge and burn, but you shouldn't be able to tell. I tried looking hard to see if it's somehow natural, but I can't find the matchup in the reflection. One thing I would have considered if I were lucky enough for this capture to be mine: the foremost center rock to me is unharmonious with the other rocks. It's lighter, and smoother, and more of an attention stealer. I think a crop at the bottom to eliminate it, while losing a bit of lovely foreground, would have been better. |

| What a great illusion! That boat looks as if it is floating in mid-air. I love the way you blended the sky and the water - the way you eliminated the horizon line. Bumping up - to top 15 in my choice. |

| This lovely images gives the illusion that the boats are floating in mid air. What quiet waters and what a superb reflection like no other i have seen. The light above sinks gently to the rocks in the foreground wherein we do a double take to ground our senses. Speak of an image that moves and then add this low key coloration! Wow! Bumping up. |

It`s really nice when you get still conditions that allow perfect reflections...gives a kind of "floaty" feel to the image.

| Gorgeous, dare I say Heavenly. I wouldn't change a thing. I really like that the horizon line dissappears leaving a seemless transition into the sky creating a wonderful mood to the scene. And the darkeness on the boat and the rocks adds some nice contrasts to the delicates lights. Perfect in everyway. Bumping to a 10 |

| 8 - Very nice. I like how the horizon has almost disappeared. Criticism; difficult, either a slight tweaking to bring out a little more subtle color, or even (maybe, and depending what was there/what you had to work with) a horizontal crop, really 'using' that 'vacant horizon', may have made this even better in my opinion. |

| What you have created here is an incredible photo with beautiful lighting, excellent tonality and with a wonderful atmosphere. I love how the horizon line virtually disappears. My only critique would be that, IMO the composition would benefit from a slightly simpler elements. I would have excluded the boats in the background (although they are beautifully lit) leaving the solitary one as the principle subject. I realize that this could have been out your control. Outstanding work. |

| This is just about perfect. A free study's a crapshoot, but this is a ribbon as far as I am concerned. I don't see how to improve it except possibly to burn the foreground in a tad. |

| erasing the horizon (if that's what you have done) really makes this photo as there is a seamless transitin from sea to sky. The nearby stones feel a bit rescued in RAW but otherwise a fabulous shot. |

| A very calm, serene, dreamy capture that the viewer justs gets totally lost and swept up in. One cannot tell where the sky begins and the lake ends. They blend in so seamlessly that one daydreams as one gazes upon the boats thinking, "Do they sail upon the waters or do they sail upon the clouds?" Wonderfully composed and captured. |
