    Re: Net repairs

    I think a different angle would have done the image more justice. The netting was one of the last things I noticed, when I think it should be first. I think an angle perpendicular to the boat would tell us more in detail what the netting looks like. Granted, the only way to get that done is probably with another boat.

    A little hot in some places but overall it captures the boat well. A little busy too, but that's just the boat and all that netting it has on it. Iove the reflection part of this also, very subdued and painterly like.

    Nice shot. I would have liked to just see the reflection.

    I like it, Roger. Maybe a bit more space to the front of the boat, but otherwise it all looks good. Colors are lovely and the reflection a treat.

    Thanks to all,

    There was no way of getting a better angle on this because there were two boats in the way one was a 100ft Sunseeker which prevented a straight on shot. Sometimes you have no choice :-(

    This is almost straight out of the camera - just did a slight rotation and crop to level the water.

    Re: Net repairs

    It's definitely an eye catching photo. I think it has been said before, but my first thought was that the composition seemed weighted more towards the bottom of the photo. A little more sky would balance it out for me. Good work all in all!
