Robin Hood's Bay - (best viewed LARGER)

would have missed this one if I had not visted this section of the TRP, instead of the default TRP, even though you submitted it for critique it does not show up on the default page, if your wondering why ,this thread may be helpful http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00DeJW ~Congrats on a wonderful capture ~ GT

Magnifico trabajo Colim.. perfecta composicion,, gran angular y perfecta luz,, un cordial saludo.

Thanks to all of you - Jana, Amal, Richard, Vi, Amar, Jiri, Glenn, Julio! I do appreciate your kind comments.

 

Amar, I thought so too!

 

Glenn, yes I was mildly puzzled by it not showing up in the default TRP but the rules are so complex now I gave up trying to follow them some time ago. And while my kind friends Ben and Amal were prevented from giving it a 7, I think Brian and his colleagues do a pretty good job to keep the worst daftnesses of PN at bay. I guess that although it got 5 anonymous qualifying ratings at least one must have been from its category queue. Straightforward really! - and a small price to pay to keep the system manipulators in check.

It's a cracking shot, even with the imperfections and really captures the atmosphere of the place. First time I visited this place it rained stair rods ALL day.

Spectacular view! Strange but pleasing colours. One of your best so far, I think! Again that "painting-quality" that I have mentioned before when commenting on your photos.

This is true artisty...I absolutely love the mixed color and desaturation...and even more impressed that you thought of this composite. A real conversation piece for sure...lots of fun quirky details. Congrats on such an original work!

Wonderful mood dear Colin :) and scene. superb. Bravo :)

Amazing and charming work, nice story behind it. Well done.

Wow, this is simply amazing! Such a neat story behind the picture too! Thanks for sharing. 7/7

Hey,

 

I've been only a few places out of the states, but I can say that I've been there. Did you go on the Coast to Coast hike as well? Did you like it? I think you really captured Robin Hoods Bay well. You captured the sea-faring nature of the town and the layout of the picture are very nice.

Congrats,

 

Zach

This somewhat busy photo really holds my attention. Interesting POV, sky and subject. Well done.

Another interesting shot, Colin.

 

I like the old shot by "Frank Meadow Sutcliffe" interesting side line.

 

There is such interest in the shot.

 

I think it would look good on my wall ...:)

 

... what a atmosphere:-)))

regards, Ben

You have created a stunning British ambience. Exceptional.

A boat trailer? Well... guess that makes more sense, given the boats and all... [walks away with sad face, sigh].

unusual atmosphere you created in this, making it a monochrome style, like it very much.

Thanks for all your kind comments!

 

Tim, it must rain there a lot by the sounds of it!

 

Camilla, yes I was aiming for a 'painted' look to this one.

 

Zach, no I didn't do the hike, wife and child would object!

 

Stephen, sadly not a lawnmower!

Colin, this is a great image. The colours give a very timeless appeal and the wet day adds much atmosphere due to the wet surfaces.

I think the work you are producing with "that" lens is outstanding.

Colin, I thought this was a painting when I first saw it. Beautifully captured. Cheers, Sondra

I love this for many reasons...the fish eye effect, the color tone, the slice of life, the mood. Really effective work, here.

Thanks Paul, Sondra and Linda!

Wonderful image Colin.

Colin, if you're short of Christmas presents this year you should try to get a jigsaw made of this one. It would immortalise the image, and provide hours (days?) of suitable frustration. Ace work.

Thanks Dimitris!

 

Thanks Sandeha - a puzzle eh? Nice idea. I seem to remember a quite difficult jigsaw puzzle from my youth which when turned over became a fiendish puzzle of the inside of the dome of St Pauls - all the same colours and repeating designs. I think this could be in the same category!

I honestly thought this is a painting Colin, untill I read the story. You've done an amazing job here. The image is more than wonderful!
