A nice capture with good color and focus. I wish the left side boats had the separation that the right side boats have.

(Voting completed - back to comment on random images)
Original vote = 5

OK, I am not sure why I gave this a 5 the first time around - on revisiting this image I notice the horizon isn`t straight! (I even checked in photoshop in case my eyes were uncalibrated). Secondly the photo is actually rather boring - there isnt much happening in the sky in the way of clouds, sunbeams etc and the lower half of the photo is just rather dull. Its not really telling me a story, it provokes no emotion in me and has zero WOW-factor. Also there seems to be some vignetting in the lower left corner which unbalances the image even more.

Revised vote - 3

I love how the water an the sky blend together. You could almost call it "Fisherman's heaven".

I love the negative space and the reflection of the sky off the water. I could imagine this as a wall mural.

Nice shot. Looks as if the horizon just pours over an edge.

So calm, really nice with all those little boats.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This makes me think of a mirror and a child placed toy boats on it. It has a cool feel about it.

Calm setting, nicely composed

reminds me of Morro Bay on the Central Coast of California, I like the calm water

Very still shot! Lighting could be improved.

It looks like they're floating on glass - well composed and processed

Beautiful shot. Very serene.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:29:13 PM
Lovely quiet view. With the colors of the sea and sky almost the same, it's just if there's no horizon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:45:36 AM
I like the blandness of the sky and water and how they are only separated by that tiny strip of land (rocks?). But otherwise this shot is rather self explanatory.

The annual sailboat race was off to a slow start and nobody could quite figure out why.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:46:05 PM
Excellent image. The water almost looks like glass. I didn't like the vignetting on the bottom corners.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:14:20 PM
Saturday? I love the glassy look to the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:03:21 AM
I like how the sea is calm and appears similar to the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Paradise? That's competition! lol nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:04:12 PM
this isn't quite capturing me. i like the contrast levels, but there just seems to be too much gray tones. perhaps black and white might look more appealing
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The waterline seems to disappear into the sky

the sky is a little over bright, but the stagger of the boats looks wonderful.
