    Very nice glow and the background has a nice hazy feel to it. I wish it had a little more space at the bottom so that I could see more of the reflections, which really add to the shot.

    The shot looks very peaceful. I think not having people in the shot helps - makes me feel like they're all sleeping.

    Thanks for the comments. I was very limited as to where I could stand for this shot. It was taken from a floating dock, I had all of the room I wanted left and right, but only about 3 feet fore and aft. All I had in my hand was my G2, this is as wide as it would go.

    I like the shot as well. More reflection would be nice but as you said the G2 only goes so wide. I have the wide angle attachment for the G2 which makes some difference. I bought the attachemtn before I had my first DSLR otherwise I would not have spent so much on the glass.

    Anyway, the location and subject are nice and I like the composition. My only concern is that brown layers of haze. In Los Angeles, we call that SMOG and I'm not Photoshop expert enough to remove it.

    I like the softness and subtle colors creating a soothing mood. i would wish for a little looser crop, but i know you most likely were trying to isolate these boats from the other extraneous elements going on around them.

    To me, the colors seem a bit muted.

    Re: Gold Beach

    I think this shot has great potential. Very nice. I would probably tweak the contrast a bit to bring out the color/ or burn some of the image in parts to sort of get rid of the slight haze that it has.

    Really it is a fantastic image however, very nicely done.
