I love the colors and composition. Nt sure exactly what I'm looking at, but I suspect it's a dock showing through fog at sunset or sunrise.

the water is beautiful, such lovely color saturation and gradation. I do wish the dock pieces (?) weren't so close to the top of the frame but I assume something was probably ugly and in the way above them?

comments are welcome.

Beautiful job. You've got quite an eye! The layout is excellent, the depth is right on the mark for this shot, the colors are wonderful, it's a very original, clean image of a very often photographed scene. I don't know why some people gave it such poor ratings (3/3)... it seems to happen here quite often... no accounting for taste or talent? food for thought.... Anyway, kudos on a job well done!

Very Nice!

Very unusual take on a familiar scene, very striking, I know its dark on the right hand side but it does not matter, the whole thing works, great quality, great colour, very original composition, I love it.

 

Have to agree with Lisa about the ratings.

I'm so used to your people work that this one took me surprise. Its a weird composition but weird in a good way. Its what I imagine it would look like as one jumped off the edge of the earth. Well, that was weird thing to say...

Unusual and good. I am in two minds on whether a bit (10% approx) off the bottom would be an improvement. The dark right is fine but I don't like the dark left corner. Sounds really picky I know.

I never quibble about details and minutiae. I go for the burning ash floating down the canyon walls.

interesting point of view and very succesful picture

This photo proves that colour is also worth love...sometimes ...:)

A true example of a simple but yet so beautiful mood. My kind of favorite photo.

COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO THUMBS DOWN!!! PURE CRUD. This picture lacks any real purpose. I don't understand how anyone can say, wow you got an eye.

Chris, this is just a super photo! The color, the composition, and the space is all just perfect. You just keep right on breaking the "rules". Though I think the dark area in the bottom left could be slightly more gradiated, overall the picture benefits from these dark areas because it draws the eye into the center and up into the lighter hues. I would love to know the technical details of how you accomplished this. Is it a long exposure taken on a tripod, smoothing out the details of the water? That would be my first guess. Wow, think about what a single rock thrown into the middle of that perfectly smooth water would do with rings of expanding water! Nah, just keep it as it is. :-)

Thomas, It was shot with Provia film and exposed for about five minutes. Jose, I agree. That's why I hate color. When I put a color film in my camera my first thought is: "I might be wasting a great B&W shot!" :)
