    Marblehead Reflection

    haven't posted in a while....went away this past weekend and took a few shots that I liked....thought I would share.

    I love the first one because of the reflection...I added the second one to show you what the sunset looked like straight up. A beautiful night ...

    Re: Marblehead Reflection

    i like both. they're both very serene and peaceful shots. i really enjoy the reflection on the first shot. I can see where the 2nd shot was taken quite clearly from that. u didn't have to go far. lol.

    I typed that paragraph before i read your description. yes the reflection really makes the first image work.

    The reflection in the first is great. It almost looks like a painting is hanging there in place of a window.

    I like the sky in the second. It could benefit from being leveled, which would also mostly get rid of the sign in the lower left.

    The moment is inviting to say the least..talk about pull.Exceptional reflected "mood".The closest window of the building is perpendicular, in the rule of 3rds sweet spot... that works for me. I think that this image one Is a great result of superb light,atmospheric conditions,good eye.Nice one.
    Just my thoughts.

    Re: Marblehead Reflection

    Nice pictures and I like that you have people in the background on the first it adds that extra something too it.

    My only thing that bugs me is the BBQ on the left of the picture shame it was there.

    thanks for the comments....I agree about the BBQ...I tried cropping it out, but that took away the left-most window, which I think really adds depth to the shot.
