Ciao Paolo
molto bella questa piccola barca abbandonata, un pò triste e molto suggestiva come immagine. Bellissimo il blu dell'acqua

Hi Paolo,
A blue minimalit compo with well placed 'almost wreck!' Nice POV and framing... i like the texture of the water, specially in the FG.

Nice capture Paolo. The blues here are quite beautiful and I love the bluriness behind the boat--it gives it like a painting-like feel. It's a very calming image.

Ciao Paolo, buona domenica.
Mi ha colpito la foto per lo stesso colore dei due suggestivi soggetti e per come hai scelto di posizionare la barca nello scatto. Ben fatto !

Lovely photo, Paolo. Almost more reminiscent of a painting than a photograph, and a very elegant and elementary composition with the boat well placed in the upper corner, surrounded by rippled shapes on the water surface and an abundance of boue tones.

hi paolo
minialist and simple but very effective, this is a great simphony of blues,

Hello Paolo,

The small movement on the water make that the picture bring life, and the small boat is the really eyes catcher, nice done. TFS.

Regards,
John.

scobert (5333) 2007-05-20 11:45

Hello Paolo,
An interesting and intruiging photo. I ilke the overall effect and your excellent and unusual composition. The boat may be a little overprocessed in my opinion. I oversharpened my post of the waterfall at Zion National Park. We learn more from experimenting than we do by "playing it safe" all of the time. A very good and compelling photo. It would make a great poster for a mystery movie!
Regards,
Stan

I like the simplicity here Paolo.
The composition and framing are first rate, and although the boat and the top of the frame in general could do with being a bit sharper, I don't think it has too much of a negative impact. If anything, the softness adds to the mood of the image.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Ciao Paolo.
A wonderful simplicity, with nice blue tons.
The sharpness is great, the lines on the sea give a nice effect.

Beautiful and serene minimal image. Just the sort of thing you might want as a poster as the only thing on the wall.

Hi Paolo,

A simple composition which works really well due to the isolated feeling it has.

Best regards,

Ciao Paolo,
Minimal aesthetics floating in blues...
This boat and the soft waves on the water texture look very cool. This is absolutely a soothing image for all souls in blue...

Hi Paulo,

I love the sense of emptiness .. of loss in a way .. the diffusion .. rain??? .. and the tone make it almost a dream. .. somewhere between impressionistic and surreal.
wonderful.

take care,

John

Hi Pablo,

A photograph very simple but thought well and superbly composed, I like much the atmosphere that the image releases. The halation formed around the boat is more beautiful effect and the presence of rized on water gives more to the photograph which has moreover a beautiful harmony of blue, cheer Pablo.

With all my friendships and a good WE,

Jean-Charles
