TAKING CENTER STAGE.....

Hi Linda. I would clone out the little bouy on the left, it competes for center stage. Regards.

CR: An "inner frame"! Artistical intelligence! CL: I wouldnt need the "goofy bird". RE

Didn't notice the buoy till I read Walter's comment and love that bird!

Walter...I expected a clone suggestion. I debated and decided to leave it. Thanks for noticing ;-)

 

RE....the bird's serious...it's the photographer that's goofy!LOL!

 

Colin...thanks for stopping by! Always nice to have you visit.

surprise...........

surprise nr.2

Beautiful Linda, I love how that scary black mixes with water. I would have clone that thing too. This is a big hand. Regards.

Hi Linda.... The clean fall colors and picturesque homes at the other side of the lake is a big plus for this image. I may crop off the bottom portion a bit to pull viewers' attention more toward the bird...

I love the bird Linda! I read comments first as it opened...was expecting something else.(Pun unintended!) It makes the shot complete I feel.

 

Hey those are cool Els! :)))

This takes me back ................ I look at this and I think ...................... slingshot.

Els! Thank you for your contributions....although I am not surpised any more on how much we think alike!

 

Hi Israel...I liked the scary black, too!

 

Thanks, Brad...the crop would eliminate some of the scary black, though....;-)

 

Amelie...the bird drew my attention. But it was only a seagull on a pole. I tried to compose around him....

 

Ken, that would have been great! Leave it to you to see the potential....we could have maybe stretched some panty hose.....

Panty hose - "although I am not surpised any more on how much we think alike! " ...... read my mind.

I'm with Walter - the little object in the water competes with everything else. I like the bird's position and the way the posts form a guide to the bird.

i like this!!! very good!!!!!

I like this submission a lot. I can feel myself walking on the pier and then falling....falling...splash!

Wow, Linda! This is impressive work with color, and the subject is stunning. The water really looks cold, but the trees give warmth to the picture.

This is a wonderful example of what my mind's eye sees when I think of New England. Very nice!

I like the composition and over all the contrasting colors of the backdrop and the actual subject. The bird looks surreal like waiting for the shot to be taken. Wonderful.
