at the bay

I like this idea, but I think it could be better. Keep this theme in mind as you move about taking photos. I'll watch for more like this.

Will do, Shawn! :)

Hi Baerbel,

 

I'm kind of with Shawn on this one - this good shot is not far from being a great one. I've taken the libery of playing with the perspective, brightness and contrast in selected areas of the photo. I think it would be even better if you could include the tops of the vertical pilings (is that what you call them?) in the upper right and show water behind them as you did on the upper left. I also think it would help to sink the dinghy or otherwise get the owner to move it long enough for you to take the photo. I guess that all this presupposes this image was taken close to where you live and that you will have an opportunity to re-shoot some day.

 

Cheers, Jim

Yep, your image is stronger, bolder, Jim, thanks! So much to learn yet, so little time! I had to laugh about your suggestion to "sink the dinghy". How should I do that? Do you think a corkscrew would do??? :)

...I would have preferred this shot without any boats, but short

of "sinking it" - as humorously was suggested below - this is what I

got. Comments appreciated. :)

Jim, Barb, I too wanted to sink the dinghies but could not think of a nice way to say it. I like Jim's approach. 8~)#
