Hello Renier,

Very pretty scene with the colourful ship as the centerpiece. The reflections on the water look alive and as colourful as the ship itself. Good sharpness and decent light for this shot. It look like the tide gous down quite a bit around this area. Thanks Renier.

Bonjour Renier
Un beau cliché de ce bâteau et de son reflet, le tout bien saisi, avec de belles couleurs et agréable à l'oeil.
Merci pour le partage et bon dimanche.

Hello Renier,

Nice shot, I like the smooth lightning which allowed to put in evidence the colors of the boat. The reflection on the water is the cherry on the cake and is even more visible that the background is lost in the blur.

Hi Renier,
This is a nice pov on that place, well balanced photo with the colored boat at low tide. Enough water to get good boat reflection.
Very good work.

Olivier

Nice catch, a bit melancholic I find with the boat resting on the beach. Tones are very special, participating so much to this melancholic ambaince. Well seen.

ChrisJ (70521) 2008-04-06 2:20

Hi Renier

Nice reflections at low tide, with superb sharpness & shadow detail. I like the muted colours and symmetry of the boat & it's reflection. Tfs!

Hello Renier,
This is a very appealing composition of the fishing boat awaiting the incoming tide. Pleasing cool colours and some great reflections. very good definition.

Hi Renier,
Quite an unusual view for me to see the ship on the very shallow water with her reflexions giving a surprising angle. The small canoe on the side sitting straight is a good balancing element. Just enough of this moody sky to complete the atmosphere...
Good work

The reflection in the water is what makes this shot stand out... well taken.

Amazing reflections here !
I like a lot your compo, as it seems to play with symmmetry, and you caught nice colors in this grey weather.

Hej ho Reiner,
Fashinating boat, looks a bit like a one of those deigned toys in wood that well educated middle class parents give there kids.
the sky in BG has the same effect as a dark forest and adds a lot of mood to the image that's very fine comped.

Not on the best weather but the fishing boat's reflection (incl the small one) really make it. This kind of boats are similiar like our in Sumatra island.
An interesting shot Renier...thanks :-)

It is a little dull due to the quality of light that is not good, but this makes the reflections stand out more. I like it.

Hi Renier!
Very good, this one. I like the atmosphere with those dark clouds in background. The two boats are really worth a photo, especially the big one that is really nice.Then, the reflection is just perfect. Good work!

gunbud (28295) 2008-04-07 20:14

Hi Renier,
Wow! stunning beauty to this unique old fishing vessel with its brand new length of rope. The understated colors and lovely reflection give this image a dreamy feel. I love the layers created by the low tide. You have not lost your touch at all my friend.
Regards, Tom

Hi Renier,
good capture of a ship's parking place. Superb reflection and fine choice of framing. What a luck that the ship has a tilt to our side.

Angshu (34243) 2008-04-09 0:33

Hello Renier
Works very well here...the colours of the boat, the reflection in the shallow water. In fact the other boat (& it's reflection) adds a lot. Well done in the cloudy weather & muted light. Like it!

Angshu

Renier,
Very well managed colors to show this beautiful scene. Boat details are very interesting.

Well done.

wolf38 (13159) 2008-04-16 10:55

Hello Renier. A beautiful and worth seeing photo. Interesting, as it looks at ebb-tide in a state of rest. The multicolored colors of the boat are a eyecatcher. A good shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

salvator (18995) 2008-04-24 1:21

Hi Renier,
Very nicely composed with wonderful colors and superb clear reflections.

Hi Renier, I like the ambiance of this composition a lot. The tide will be back by now! The clear reflection on the wet sand appeals to me. TFS. Murray.

Hola Renier,
Un bonito barco varado en la arena que contrasta con la pequeña barca de la derecha. Excelente composición, colores y reflejos.

bakes888 (18353) 2008-05-09 2:22

Hi Renier. They must take pride in their boats as this one is painted up beautifully. Nice photo. I love the reflection. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

pablominto (41690) 2008-05-12 1:39

Hello Renier,
This is an interesting vessel, nicely decorated!
A fine composition and the reflection is attractive, moody colour palette...
Something tells me they need a deepwater harbour to be less dependant on the tides, but I guess that is an expensive venture with shallow waters like this!
Greetings,
Pablo

jaywalker (12415) 2008-05-24 12:28

Hi Renier, This is a great capture of an excellent reflection, a nicely composed piece of work, the coloured boat is really very good & its reflection gives the photo impact, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

banyanman (7739) 2008-07-25 7:26

The soft light, soft colours, layers and superb reflections all add up to a very impressive photograph. Perfectly composed - excellent work Renier.
