Would you like to take a ride, just like old time? C'mon, don't be scared, that the way some still do it at Ile-A-Vaches Haiti. A little PS job bringing the canoe and the island together. :)

Imagines-toi ma chere Sylvia que le proprietaire de l'hotel de Port Morgan est francais et l'acceuil etait des plus chaleureux. Un sejour de deux semaines la-bas, c'etait comme une visite au paradis. .... :)

  i would have preffered this without the canoe, the scene is too beautiful to include it 0 if the canoe had been new then it would have been ok (its a good composition) but the look of the canoe spoils the scene for me...hope this helped...John

  Thanks for the comment John. I am sorry it does not work for you. Actually if you browse trough my gallery, you will find the same scene without the canoe. Like they say: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks again for the constructive feedback. :)

  WOW, this is awesome, Christian. I have seen a number of these types of pictures, but I like yours the best!! I like the canoe because it helps show the wonderful DOF, and adds balance to the picture!

  Actually, the boat is what makes this a great shot. It leads the eye through the scene.
