    Re: Reflections

    I think your crop is too tight, at the very least I'd like to see the whole reflection of the boat in the water.

    Re: Reflections

    Thanks for the comment.

    Perhaps the crop isn't tight enough - What I was going for was the reflection of the sunlight on the bow of the boat, not the one in the water.

    I thought of that too.

    And a tighter crop would likely work well too. One way or the other you either need to move in or out.

    I like it Roger, maybe just a different title. I like the crop just fine. The reflections are a nice touch too and the shot wouldn't be the same without them. Nice job spotting this.

    Re: Reflections

    I'll revisit this one next week to see if there is a better crop.

    Greg - any ideas on a title?

    Re: Reflections

    Roger - I think it's OK but missing something. Boats in themselves are very hard to rise above an average shot, they usually need to be in conjunction with something else, like people, sunsets, etc.
