Acadia No. 8

From a series on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Critique welcomed and

thanks for viewing.

Composition wise very good, the white boat a little over exposed and generally  weak of sharpness. A classical composition of a group of moored boats.

Cheers.

Hi Bela,

Thanks for viewing. You are absolutely right on about the featureless white highlights and the limited sharpness. It is a copy I made of my darkroom print that is about ten years old (the site is a harbour on Mount Desert Island in northeast Maine, USA). I may have lost some sharpness in the copying, but the blown out white features can only be attributed to the print exposure. I may try to find the negative and redo it, but the classical composition, albeit enhanced slightly by the different tonalities, has its limits.
