Hi Tom,
Great capture ! Very nice compo with nice fesh colors, very nice reflections. Is that a military academy ? Or just for civil mariners.
İf for military, the place seems to be very romantic for that reason.
TFS and best regards

Hello Tom,

Sea surface is very attractive with its own color and helps for the reflections too. MMA sign very well contrasted with yellow letters but the green and sky are superb in their natural, untouched colors. A great one, congratulations.

I wish you have a Merry Easter.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Sensational colors, Tom! The blue and green tones, the reflections, that marvelous light...All just fantastic. The detail is razor sharp and the colors are just perfectly saturated. Beautifully done!! Thanks and have a good weekend,
Shelly

Hi Tom

Hi Tom
The piling provides some FG interest. The colours and sharpness are excellent. Nicely done.

A very beautiful place and an excellent picture, full of color! A very nice pov. TFS

Hello Tom,
A very pretty scene well composed. Superb light and colours and very good clarity.

Hi Tom.
A very pleasant scene in the June sunshine. You have managed to give this a painterly look, the water especially. The colours and slight over-saturation look great and appropriate for this scene. The post adds foreground interest. Pity the whole of the steel band around it is not shown, and that the pole itself is not a little further to the left. Still, very nice shot.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Tom
Nice place that you captured here. Beautiful lights, contrats and colors. The sky's colors rendered by the clouds is wonderful. Good sharpness and depth. Well done. Regards, Consuelo

Knew some from high school who went here, Tom. A lovely spot, well shown. Nice use of the piling for perspective and good capture of the wind-rippled water.

Hi Tom,
What a beautiful place to learn about seamnship; I especially like the clarity of the water and the sharp detail in those beautiful old buildings.

Hi Tom,
Your photo has an excellent sense of depth and has a great 3D effect. Even the distant trees look like fine sculptures and the sky is absolutely beautiful! In Colorado we have have mountaineering schools with avalanche training ,etc. and you have all of the seafaring schools. What a great spot to have this specialized school. Superb!
Stan

beautiful place and a beautiful pov to show it tom... especially the sky looks superb, also the colour of the sea... the compo might have looked better without that sticking "pole/log(?)" which is a bit distracting but still a very nice shot...
all the best...

Hi Tom, A great view across the water, the light is brilliant as it reflects of the river, the colours is superbly sharp &, I love the composition with the post in the foreground, kind regards Wilson.

Beautiful shot here Tom, I think I have learned more about New England from you than in the last 58 years.
