Hello Mimi,

A splendid image!
Excellent use of depth in the glorious blue sky and water. Amazing reflections. The height composition is boosted by the tall masts, which in turn add that good white colour element. The Tapletop/Lion mountain in the BG is a beautiful backdrop to the region. The brids are remarkable, you were indeed lucky.

Hi Mimi,

This is a beautiful view of this wonderful harbour. I love the boats in the foreground and the lovely reflections on the water. The rising mountain in the back is also beautiful. Great composition with excellent colours, light and details! The birds add something extra to this photo! Great work, Mimi!

Greetings,
Ann

This is great. I love the layers involved with this photograph. Six total layers of S. Africa. You can see them clearly.

Cheers!

Bonjour Mimi
Beau cliché de ce magnifique endroit que j'ai pu admirer l'été dernier mais sous un ciel moins clément. J'ai posté la même photo mais avec une luminosité différente.
Merci pour ce rappel de bons souvenirs et bonne journée.

Hello Mimi,

This is a sensational shot, displaying exquisite composition and perspective, light and shadows, and colors and definition. You've captured that fleeting moment of the seagulls in the most salient locations in the frame. Well done!
Warm regards from Virginia,

Bulent
