"What Lies Ahead"

Green water!!... cool composition, Wilson. Pnina

The colour contrast between the ship, the human figure, and the landscape -both water and sky- works extremely well.

 

The human figure acts very effectively as a proxy, with its field glasses (I suppose) trying to figure out the bridge at the horison: it has the same effect of the viewer trying to squeeze his/her eyes to make up more in the fog you've well exposed back there.

 

If I had to change something, I would like slightly more separation between the left shoulder and the frame of the picture.

Now were're having fun. So what's the problem with the green water? On the Technicolor Planet the water changes colors all the time. Great 3D feel to this one.

I live here. The green water is typical in the wintertime as a river closeby dumps from the mountains.

 

Great photo - thanks for the memories.

What beautiful colors!

Nicely done. Cheers, Raphael

the big green is captivating, funny how the boat and the viewer protrude into the dreamy scape. Always wondering what lies ahead on your site...

I love it! Terrific composition, color, detail, exposure & light. I can't help but wonder, where in the heck you where positioned when you took this image, in the water? :) Hopefully on a dock.

Superlatives fail me. Just a great, great job Wilson.

Fabulous colors here! I love the yellow coat against the green water. And such a misty mysterious day. Great catch!

Stunning shot Wilson the jade green water is beautiful.

an excellent shot, love the green water

Wilson, this is AWESOME!! It does look like Deception Pass or San Juan Islands. You look like you were possibly on one of the WSF boats standing back by the bridge that connects those two overhangs on the front on the second level. I wanna come back and visit *WHINE*! :)

Great shot.

As always, great image!

Wilson,

 

What a great picture! I haven't been on PN much lately, and I have missed being obsessed with all your pictures. You are an such an inspiration to me.Keep up the great work :~)

Wilson, this is, as someone said already, a truly amazing shot!

I like the contrast here of the mystical, and the contemporary...It is the combination that makes the image so unusual. Of course, you know how to do that well...

This is quite original, Wilson. I find myself looking ahead with the sailor trying to see through the mist. Very well composed and incredible water color.

This appeals to me very much. I have never seen water this colour before, it's beautiful. The exposure is perfect. Bad weather can often make for the most interesting photos. Congrats!

This is quite something in terms of colors and contrast, but imo, if the manipulations that occurred in this department are strong, perhaps you should have uploadedit as unmanipulated. What I'm trying to say is this: Composition is ok, but what makes the image for me, in this particular case, is the light and therefore I'd like to see this exactly the way nature made it. Any chance to see the original colors and contrast ? Regards.

Thanks for checking this out. Here's the original capture.

Thanks for posting the original, Wilson. I honestly prefer the original. Perhaps a very mild color adjustment would be in order, but if I may say so, the manipulation you went for went a bit " over board " imo. :-) Cheers, and bravo for the nice original capture.

After seeing the original, I must agree with Marc. I like it even more than the posted one. Very atmospheric...

Very surreal! Even having seen the original, which is fine, I still like this better. Maybe because it is a little over-the-top. It certainly catches your eye and makes you think of mystical lands. I expect him to be on the lookout for monstrous, mythical sea creatures! :) Nicely done. Thanks for capturing our imagination. Leslie
