    I really like this shot. I always have liked reflections off the water in pictures. What kind of camera do you use?

    Not much to say here. It's Beautiful! You've got the composition down pat. I would love to see a little more of the house on the left. I think it would help balance the pic out a bit more. BUt great work!

    I really love the way this looks inverted. I hope you don't mind me messing with it a bit

    Beautiful photo, but I too would like to see more of the house on the left. It bothers me a little... just one of my quirks I guess. :D

    I've always been a real sucker for shots of boats and water and really like the reflection of the pier and boat. If it were me, I'd prob. try to lighten some of the darker areas, pier and trees without increasing the shy any, the brightness of the upper part of the frame in contrast to the rest of the photo is bit harsh, maybe because there is so much bright sky. Or maybe decrease the sky's brightness a bit. I wouldn't crop any of it out though or you would lose the balance of seeing the entire mast both above and in the reflection.
    Nice photo none the less.clap.gif

    Really good photo. I would like to see something to set the boat off a bit from the houses and stuff.

    I am not sure what, or if, would work. There is darkening the background, one of my favorites. There is blurring, a less favorite way to separate, for me. In nature, blurring is not static, on PS, it seems to be. What about a gradient layer, some contrast on the boat, etc.
