Hello Kath,
These boats are not colourful like they would be on a southern beach, but still as elegant, and they make an excellent foreground. Bewautiful scenery and a very good pp.
Regards,
Gert

Wonderful composition with strong colors.

Hello KAth,

Une image qui pourrait presque s'apparenter à du HDR !
La luminosité étrange mais pas désagréable sur les barques donne une image très contrastée et très bien exposée. Un joli décor rythmé par les barques du premier plan.
A+

Hi Kath
The light is so pretty here and seeing these lakes and boats reminds me of the Swallows and Amazons books my Dad used to read me when I was a kid. Lovely contrasting colours too.

Hi Kath! The view from the point here in the lake is wonderful - really wonderful and a great combination of colors and well placed to view sro FG boats! Also, the sky here has worked surprisingly given depth and a good atmosphere.

Hi Kath,
A truly beautiful landscape! The boats are lined up in excellent order, including the oars! The colour of the boats is very good in combination with the bright green trees along the other shore. Interesting map view too!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello Kath -

There is a lot to like about this image. I do like the saturated colors, the dark and moody sky, the details in the boats, the reflections in the water, and over all look of the countryside. Now, you know what's coming - what I don't particularly like about the image - the boat launch/dock and the associated pilings in the near BG. This may be a secondary leading line, but IMO it is distracting and adds little to the image.

What is off to the right? Was there a better/cleaner scene that incorporates the boats, the trees and shoreline, as well as the sky and BG hills?

This is an excellent technical image but the composition could be better, I think. Sorry!

Thank you for sharing.

John

Hi Kath.

A very good one. A good composition with a nice subject and exposure. The colours looks very nice and also I like very much how you managed the reflections on the water.

Regards.

(and good note too)

sebinho342 (19329) 2009-08-16 10:21

really nice picture Kath, i like how the frame is full, full of details, full of things to watch, to admire, foreground and background.
nice effect created in PP, tonemapping just as needed, not too much ... i like that
Perhaps a little bit too much sharpness with too much radius
nice picture

emka (158900) 2009-08-16 10:48

Hi Kath, it would be so nice to rent such a boat and to go somewhere lazy... fantastic landscape, nice composition with so many details to see.
Excellent shot

Hi Kath,
A beautiful landscape with superb colours, really well saturated too. You chose a good POV to get the boats in the foreground. Love the view of the mountains in the background a lot as well. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

npecanhuk (79329) 2009-08-16 19:28

Hello Kath!
That's a magnificent picture!
The composition with the boats, the sharpness, the colors and the brightness are all excellent and they all have contributed to create a very eye-catching and wonderful photograph!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,

Hi Kath,

This is a wonderful scene. I love wooden boat and this is a really nice collection. However, I note that the front of the boat to the left and the side of the boat to the right are outside the frame. I do not know why since it looks like you could have avoided this. I could imagine that one reason could have been what you touch upon in your note, the horizontal line. I have experienced many times myself problems with the horizontal line and when you straighten it up you have to crop out part of the main subject(s). But maybe you are a much better post editor than I am and I have no problems with that. I also find your reflections about the horizontal line in the note very interesting if there are islands this could be very tricky. TFS and have a nice day!

Kind regards,

Ulf

Dear Kath

Sorry I do not recall if I critiqued one of your pictures before my graphic card was freezing my notebook, what so ever. Obviously there was sunshine, but the sky speaks a different language. The boats in the FG boost DOF a lot. They also set a nice contrast to the sky. Your shot is very sharp indeed and the colors are vibrant.

Well done

Best regards
Urs

Hi Kath,
The scenery and the composition sure is very inviting, Your POV pretty much put us right there. The question is which one of them do I get on. There are clouds in the distance, but you got a bit of soft sunlight, just enough to illuminated the whole landscape and brighten up all the fresh new leaves leaves on the trees, and it looks like it had just stop raining for the green are so fresh with good vivid colors. the warm brown tone of the wooden boats really complements and goes well with the rest of the scenery. beautiful shot Kath. Thanks
Way

Hello Kath,
The colors, the light, clearness, give the impression of 3D. Framing, depth of the sight, and the boats and landscape, constitute a superb work. Congratulations.
Have a nice day.
Cordially.

Hi Kath,
A beautiful picture. But maybe too tight, as the boats on the sides are not complete.
Keswick seems a Scandinavian placename. The Middle-Ages Norse influence still remains in such details.
Greetings,
F.

Hi Kath,
Love the crisp sharpness and details in this one. Awesome composition and very nice colors. Great capture and TFS. Gerald

speedymanu (3701) 2009-08-19 7:56

Hi Kath

a very complex scene with all its perspective lines yet it oozes serenity. The pattern created by the boats and their oars, the mirror like water surface the spectacular sky all concur to create a superb composition.

Hi Kath
Buzy and deep foreground but well framed.
Nice mixing with sunlights and dramatic stormy sky.
Nice subject for my hot evening 40° in Orleans.
Best regards

axiotea (21651) 2009-08-22 11:02

Hello Kath
It is a beautiful place! I like how you've presented it, with the boats making for a good starting point and leading the eye to the mountains with in between the lake and vegetation. There is also an interesting graphical impact provided by the wooden poles and its reflections. Colors and contrast are superb.
Lovely photos in ws too!
Cheers
Marilyn

rigoletto (34279) 2009-08-24 7:22

Hi Kath,
I read your answer to Isa: "...Just the usual tweaks in the RAW converter and curves in PS. I always think sun combined with dark clouds gives something different", but there must be something more than that! I also use RAW + curves, but can never get such sharpness and rich colors. At least, Nikon cannot be such a good camera >:PPP
Anyway, this is too beautiful to be a regular "boats under nice light and grey clouds" photo. My compliments :)

Hi Kath,
the Lake District is a very worthwhile place especially for those who love boats (like me). Very pleasant impression, and the dark clouds create a fascinating atmosphere. You have chosen an excellently working POV on this charming scenery. I like it a lot! TFS!
Warm regards
