Thank you Maurizio and Pierre. He was there for quite some time. I was hoping to get the shot without ripples in the water... Maybe next time... Is my horizon a little tilted??? I hate when that happens! I'll have to fix it... Thanks again

could have been just a little more centered and level. but good. can you tell i don't know the proper terms for all these?

I understand centered and level. What do you think of a crop like this?

Excelllent once again. They both work, but to me the first one probably has more depth .. and don't worry about tilted horizons which with all respect is a nonsense argument. It has nothing to do with a succesful photo, as evidenced by the countless amount of magnifcent photos that we see done by the masters.

Really? Well that is good to hear. I do try to remember to keep my horizon straight and I can correct it in post processing but I sometimes forget. I agree that a horizon does not have to be and often even should not be straight but in this case, I would prefer it to be... Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts.

You have some really compelling images Sonia. I just love this for a few reasons. His strength and reflection at the shore balanced by the calmness of the boater in the lake. The gentle curves of tree and mountain and the perfect (whether you or nature) burning of highlights in the water to frame your character in the foreground.

Thank you so much Tiffany for your detailed thoughts. I am so glad to hear from you

I just stumbled across this one. Well done! Regards, ~~~~~~~Linda
