Photographer’s Note
Four islands, one islet and mountain chain in one shot: Mali Lošinj, Veli Lošinj (two islands connected by the bridge), Ilovik with St. Peter (islet without inhabitants) and Susak (the one from where the shot was taken). In the background, wrapped in heavy clouds, stands mountain chain Velebit.
Yesterday it was wonderful day for shooting, clear visibility (the wind cleared the atmosphere), sunny. With clouds - great addition for trying my polariser at its maximum. So I took a walk to the St. Nicholas church that sits on the top of Cape Arat. From here you can see the majority of the surrounding islands plus Velebit (mentioned before). It's 8:15 PM and the catamaran line connecting islands just departured from Susak towards Ilovik and back to Mali Lošinj port for overnight.
What to say about the technique and pp: not much.
Exposure Compensation -2/3
ISO Speed 200
Focal Length 17.0 mm
Unsharp mask and frame.
Fortunately, I don't know why, there was not much barrel distorsion that occurs on almost every shot and I have to correct it with lens correction filter in Photoshop CS2.
Hope you like the photo and the view.

Hello Barbara,
Trčs belle image.
J'aime beaucoup cette diagonal d'herbe roussie par le soleil qui contraste avec le bleu du ciel et de la mer.
Le bateau est la touche final,
c'est excellent !!

Hi Barbara
The most I like here or the most I wanted to point out here is the mood. With that the pov and the rich colours as well the "tricky" shot behind this leafs, which leaded to a great dof.
Well done

Hi Barbara,
Very beautiful shot. I particularly like the light and the colours. Also interesting point of view and good composition with that boat which brings dynamism to the pic.
Well done!
Quentin.

Dobar Dan Barbara,
I have browsed your gallery and I think this is the photo I prefer, light is excellent here and produces a good opposition of a warm and cold area. The passing boat adds motion and dynamism, and was well caught between the two bushes, all techs fine it's a very nice photo.
I wish you a nice week end,
Jean-Yves
