 "ET Bugaboo" is a Chespeake Light Craft Skerry that I built. With it we explore rivers and estuaries looking for interesting plants and wildlife, or sail across the bay in search of secluded beaches. This photograph was taken during one of our vacations in Maine.

Sweet shot! Love the colours in the mist and the soft haze of what looks to be an early morning begging for a trip out onto the water before the wind picks up and everything starts waking up.

Your photo gives my soul a quiet sense of tranquility. Nicely composed and I like the overall softness of it. Bumping up after a second look.

Love this photo; excellent composition and transition between foregrond and background helps make the boat the single point of interest.

nice serene picture, great technical control and composition - not a fan of the title, though

I love the silence of this image. I think the title needs work but it still gets a 10 :)

Milky clean.

Great capture. Given an opportunity, I would love to see this without the other boat tied to the dock; and maybe even with the boat all its own in the lake..great lines on the boat.

I cannot find fault with this image... well, there's that tiny speck in the distance above the boat.

Aw, shucks, this is among my highest rated in the challenge.

A wonderful soft tranquil feel, brings out some great memories Well done and Good Luck!

I think it needs to be rotated CW a little just to get it straight. When that's done this is an excellent photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

spectacularly well captured
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Something very quiet and serine about this. I do find the other boat and baskets a bit of a distraction, however, a minor problem with a nice image. Good luck.

Very "clean" and beautiful mild photo, I could see it framed large up on a wall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Pretty misty shot. I'd like to see a bit more depth in the coloration. Maybe using levels or curves or adjusting contrast. Hmmm - it would give it a tad more pop.

This photo blows me away! Everything about it is wonderful, and it is going straight to my favorites folder! 10

 01/16/2006 04:11:23 PM
nice photo. would have been MUCH better withou extra stuff on the dock... Perhaps a tighter crop on the right and bottom plus some cloning could help it...

Speedboat of the south

As of this comment, my highest rated! I love the way you captured the peacfulness of the lake and the loneliness of the boat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

this is pretty, the colors are verry nutral and not so stimulating but this helps the main point of intrust in poping the wood inside the boat, nicly taken

(btw i don't understand the title)
