Hi Tom,

nice view of this harbor. I like people that shows where and under which conditions people work.
The yellow roof in the right is a strong contrast to all the other colors in the photo. Did the sky really have this color or did you work on it?
So, these cages are used to catch lobster? How do they work?

Hi Tom

Nice shot. Great colours. Good exposure. I think I would have left out the yellow roof as it draws my eye away from the real subjects. It looks like it may be a restaurant so it does not add to the working theme in my estimation. Hope this helps.

Hello Tom,
On the whole, a good composition of this fishing port, but I agree with the others that it could be significantly strengthened by excluding the building with the vivid yellow roof.

Excellent and original compo, those lobster tracks look very interesting, with their vivid colors-red, green, blue. Nice colorful scene.

Tom,
I like your composition here showing the boats and lobster cages. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The corner of the restaurant does not bother me, it gives us an idea of the view the people have while they are there.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Tom,
Quite a busy port ... are they cray pots? Judging from number of pots, it must be productive fishing here. Well captured scene and good image quality. Your notes are also well written to describe the place... very intersting. Well done!
Cheers,

What an interesting colorful copmposition, Tom. A perfect blend of foreground, middleground and background. My eyes browse through all the image and sees everywhere interesting details. I would be probably quite interesting to do a close-up shot of these lobster traps in a tight framing. Even better if there would be a lobster left and lost in this mess.
Regards, Peter

Hi Tom,
Great shot! Love the POV looking past all the stacks of lobster traps towards the harbor filled with the boats. Very colorful. Typical shot for Maine for sure! TFS

Hi Tom
Much visual information in colourful foreground of this busy harbor of Maine.
These traps and anchored boats provide much depth to your take.
A tribute to those hearty fishermen.
Best regards.

Hello Tom! You have again given up many interesting details to look at from top to bottom. The light seems soft and wonderfully captured. Very well done!

Hi Tom,
It's a very busy harbour I guess; the whole harbour is full of cages & boats. You have captured nicely the busy harbour along with beautiful green background. TFS.
