    Safe Harbor

    I like the tone of this one. Tried not to over sharpen it much.

    Awesome image very well done !
    Love the colors in the clouds and the reflections on the water, the boat and small bird complement the image very nicely

    Nice shot. I thought at first that the bottom might use a cropping, but now I like the three ripples on succession. And the bird really helps in this shot too.

    I think you could lose most of the water at the bottom putting the horizon in the lower third and level it. Great colors.

    Re: Safe Harbor

    What a great picture..

    The only thing I would do is crop some off the top. Unlike some of the others, I really enjoy the lower water and shore. I would crop about about 1/6th of the top out (just at the point where the yellow transitions on the left side.

    But, now that I look at it more, I can see it also looking great in more of a letterbox format (wide and narrow) capturing more of just the boat and sky.

    With this great capture with the subject and colors, I think it can really stands on its own. I think were it is going to be displayed will dictate how it needs to be cropped (if at all).

    Great photo!
    Cheers,
    Greg

    This is very nice. Lovely colors and subject matter. The mood is strong and visually there is much to appreciate. There are lots of cropping options to this one, but ultimately I think it works as it is.
    Fine image, and stuck.
