Excellent life shot!! (6)

Lester: Good colors, I very much like the sky, it almost looks like a storm is coming.  I do think a little selective sharpening on the boat and family would make this photo just that much better.  Tom

Another good image in stormy weather Lester,very nice work,i am enjoying all these shots,do you have more?

Good one

Beautiful capture and composition. Bravo.

Hamid.

Well composed, Lester ... beautiful scene. Regards.

This is indeed a very charming picture. Boats at angle form a nice composition on the tranquil waters. Good FG and vibrant color clothing of the people. Sky with its clouds is dramatic. <P> I took it in PSCS3  adjusted color to make the blouse white it lightened the dark green water a bit. I increase highlight of the clouds and then gave a medium contrast in curves. It simply popped out. Try it and see if you like. Regards, ifti.

I am particularly captivated at the moment by the way people can add a great deal of impact, to what would surely (in this case) have been a great landscape shot anyway. I have gone to great pains in the past to ensure that not a solitary human figure would get into any of my shots. It is only recently that I have become aware of how much influence the presence of the human form can have on an image. I think this is demonstrated here very well.  Without the human element, this image would have looked moody and peaceful, the people have added colour, vigor and life and yes a great deal of atmosphere too.

Nice work Lester!

Lester. congratulations for this beautiful picture. The perspective and colourful are fantastic, for me, the best is the composition, it is a scene of real life.  7

Maurizio, thank you for your kind words.

Tom, I did try to do selective sharpening and it did improve the quality of the image. Thanks a lot.

Harry, thanks for dropping a line. I have one more image to post from this series.

Jef, Hamid & Ricardo, thanks too.

Iftikhar, your suggestion works well. Thanks for your observation.

Alf, I also share the same idea that a human element would definitely add colour to a landscape but it may not be shared by everybody from my observation. Correct me if I'm wrong. I very much appreciate your comments.

Esteban & Pierre, thanks for your wonderful comments.

Lester

As already mentioned the composition is really nice. Great lines made by the boats. I like insight in the family life. The colors and the reflection of the sky is very nice too. Regards, Jean-Marc

You've caught a great scene in a perfect moment of the day, all the best!

This series is just wonderful - the colors and the daily life that is captured - beautifully.
