Absolutely Beautiful. Perfect! I love the colors - bright, crisp, not too saturated. Great composition - leading lines draw you into the photo, rule of thirds with the horizon. Great detail - rocks, leaves, reflections, chipped paint, trees  -  in both foreground and background. Love the sky, and the overall feeling of the photo

Thank you for sharing.

A beautiful boats on the water shot! Clarity, color and and composition are all very good. Ths only nit pick I have is the boat in foreground on the left is cut off and the boat on the right is to close to the edge. I particularly like the reddish color of the boats against the light blue water, very nice! Looks like a great place to be! Thanks for the view! Cheers, Bob

Very well done. If you did not say that you took this a few weeks ago I would have sworn I have seen it in a magazine somewhere before. Very nice! It is almost so still you can "hear the silence" on this as well giving you peace. There is that ship pulling into or out of the dock in the left 3rd that kind of throws that but it is not necessarily a bad thing. Thanks for sharing it! Rusty "Sidewinder" Sessions

This is great! I love the colors, the composition and I love the moodiness of the picture! The only thing I am not sure about is the boat (?) that is next to the dock? I'm not even really sure if that's what it is, but it seems kind of out of place...
