The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Well done. It's a journey of mysteri colors.

Very nice image, thought it was a painting at first. I would definately have this on my living room wall. Well done

I welcome your comments (please read technical details) - Thank you.

Awesome, as always!

Wow! An incredible sunset with amazing streaks of color. Perfect placement of the romantic-looking sailboat. Very appropriate to illustrate a fantasy/adventure/fairy tale.

very nice shot.I love it.

Thank you all for your kind comments, I appreciate it!

Beautiful,I have sailed in a picture like this on a small lake in Michigan.

I like what you have done with this composition. It's just altered enough to give it a dreamy mood, but not so much as to have made it too "fake". Nice job!

Kenn & Kim, thank you!

I knew I liked you ... C.S. Lewis' Narnia series IS awesome!! Thanks for taking me back!

I like for the mistery sense it has. Fantastic!

Very nice image.

Nice shot Margaret,the only thing...I think you have been editing to much the sail.

Yes Guido, you're correct :)

A pleasure to the eye...

I love the colors and the mood Margaret. The sea is calm but the sky seems tense. Is it a gathering storm? Beautiful and strong image. My only small reservation is the faint ghosting along the sail.

Hello Margaret! The sky and composition are sure winners. No doubt about it. Actually, I like the halo around the sail; it invokes more of the "fairy-tale" magic about the boat. But the abrubt level changes in the water are somewhat more disconcerting. As long as the gamma level is low, it's not too obvious. But it becomes vey noticeable as the gamma is increased. Perhaps you could try fading that more. Just my thoughts. Regards.

This central composition seems working well. Very mysterious mood.

Beautiful image. Are the clouds showing movement during a long exposure?

Thank you everyone for your nice comments! I really appreciate it.

Digitri, the softening around the sail was intentional as Walter says.. to create a fairy-tale feel. The sky was not stormy, it just had a spectacular formation as the sun was setting!

Walter, the abrupt changes you refer to are where my brush stopped burning because it was too dark to tell at that point. There's nothing wrong with the image and it's supposed to be viewed at this level of brightness (or darkness in this case!) :)

Felix, no it wasn't a long exposure. I can't remember what it was.. probably around 1/125 or so? As I explained above, they just had this fantastic shape.

Thank you all again for your feedback :)

Fantastic image, Margaret..... I love the sky especially!!!
