Thanks Mr DG.

I don't have time to shoot much so when few attempts and few opportunities bring out a nice one to look at it feels good.

Cheers.

It gets to you when you least expect it sometimes. Gotta be ready. I

was fortunate, had my camera.Good man.

Cropped to achieve a more line driven as well as balanced visual

effect.

There's a lamp and a fly.Both are still. I just didn't know where to

put it.Then I just went by the word-game way.

I have been looking at wonderful catches and pictures of landscapes,

studio shots working with light. Some street shots too. But rarely

have I seen everyday picture of your life depicted in your pics.

What's around you. You're showing the /your outside world.I 'd like

to see yours. There's some to be done simply at home.

Enjoy.

Cheers.

Keep shooting. I am watching.

Sorry for being so behind in acknowledging your comment Alon.

Thanks for showing your appreciation.

I agree that it needs straightening. I'm just concerned about the nun if I do, caus'she looks pretty straight to me, doesn't she?

It is what it is or is it what it looks like? or, it is what you see.

Anyway I put it in Landscape 'cause land is in.

Tks.

Hello Aldo,

you caught the sinking sun alright but apart from that your photograph lacks composition. Mainly because your are too far from your captured scene. Always get closer. If you were at sea level you could have used the surfers as strong foreground, as silhouettes.Here they're just undefined dots. And if you just got there when the sun was sinking away well come early next time to be able to try different scenes and have time to compose your every picture.

Thank you Scott for your feedback on my comment as well as for visiting my page and commenting on my portofolio and this photo I didn't think would be commented on. Big ups for noticing it.

And Yes, There is a lot of good created art out there on this site. You're right about that. One day I hope I will be able( in many ways) to enjoy creating some. Now it's not the time.

I started out as a Street Photographer. So My surroundings = My material to get the most out of, to make the best expression out of .

A cute broken toy found at my brother-in-law place and placed in a

sunspot-light.

Any Comments?

Hello Scott,

The colors of your photo are nice. There's a sweetness that comes from that deep blue water.

What kills the quietness of your shot and therefore the quietness of this scene for the eye are the foreground which should be discarded at once.

The strive to obey to the vertical routine applied systematically by all nature photographers seen on PN does harm your picture. It doesn't need it.

You maybe tried to establish a link Land and Island by showing pebbles and rocks in the foreground but the profound nature of an Island is that its roots is where it sits and does not have link to the land anymore.

Anyway it's highly distracting. Try without and you 'll see that the balance of colors and of the photo are strenghtened at once.

Cheers

hello George,

First and foremost your photo is really attractive.It grabs attention.

One can build a quick story by joigning together what's for me is really two different photos.A Dyptich for the price of one. Your photo is rich in that it can tell a story.

But it's too rich at the same time in terms of visual information which prevents my eyes from embracing your photo as a whole.

The most distracting(cause it distracts the eye from the couple or/and the screaming face caged in the ad) are the geometric lines on the ground you caught in your composition.They take the eyes away from the characters to have them converged at the foot of the tree cornering the street.Hence delaying the reading of your photograph which has a palpable content.Rich I said before.

Maybe a better standing point would have been in front of the tree in the foreground to bring a balance in your photo and direct the viewer's eyes to the 2 scenes in one photo-story you still brilliantly caught.

That's all Folks.Hope it helps.

Good Eye/Catch in the end.

Cheers.

Another quick shot from the car.

Your Thoughts and Comments are welcome.

Tks.

Just trying to get away from the classic pictures of cars and trying

underline efforts and great balance car designers work to achieve in

the making of those.

Well everything is in the picture, so...make a pit stop and tell it

to the station manager.Tks
