C A June 18, 2007

Thank you Donna for your nice comments on my photo's. I'm discussing my photos also on another website and I always try to combine a different point of view or something to improve in my point of view with the good things. So its not I don't like a photo but there is always something to improve :-) I want to learn myself so thats why..
I like this shot. Nice colours and sky. But when the sky just above isnt horizontal it gives people the impression the horizon isn't horizontal. BUT it really is when you have a closer look. Maybe it is something to think about and if you don't agree, no worries. You shot is very nice and I don't think I will get a similar shot like this :-) Thanks again, Corné #4407157

Donna La Mattino Pagakis June 18, 2007

I know what you mean, the sky is very dark just above the water line, but it couldn't be helped without compromising the image.

Thanks so much,

Donna #4408822
