Ooooooooh, Tom....
that is just magnificent. The color and clarity looks like jewels, wonderful light, great POV with the tip of the kayak, just razor sharp detail and fabulous reflections. What a place that must be to just get away and forget about civilization. This is one beautiful shot and a really great note. Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Glad to see you back. We'd been wondering about you.

Hi tom,
Looks like you got your kayak out again for the new season. Great capture here with the real "on the lake" feel and view. The shimmmering reflections add interest and the colors are great. Well seen and don't tip over and get your gear wet or lose it!! TFS. Gerald

Superb colors and reflections, I like the blue sky, the extremely picturesque red houses, the water with those boats and the blue sky. Excellent POV and framing, very pleasant light.

Hello Tom! These tiny fishing villages are just too much and what a way you had to explore them, it almost feels to be on board with you, and no, I won't comment my N.S. experience again I had when I first tried this kind of sport but it reminds me of it, once more :) The colors are wonderful and the sunshine on the red paint is lovely. On the other hand the paint reminds me of the parties we had in N.S. helping to re-paint the house of my friends and it always seems to me that they wait until we return to get the job back. They probably think the Swiss make it better but it is not true, after some glasses of beer etc. ... Or did I tell you my painting experience before:)))) My N.S. friend Theresa has all her friends coming for the painting party and in the end she does nothing but we all paint. That's her special trick but I truly love her, she is wonderful, and what a story teller, it goes beyond. Have a great Monday, Barbara.

I rather like this tip-of-the-kayak point of view, Tom. You've got a great position from which to shoot, and you show the shore face of this island and its harbor well. The shimmering reflections in the water are pleasing, as are the ripples on the waves. Perhaps the best thing about this image is simply that it feels as if you are taking us along for the ride.

TFS,
Jim

Hello Tom
I really like the wavy reflection. The kayak arrives to that colourful harbor. Good idea to include a part of the kayak. Thanks for sharing.
Best regrads

Hello Tom,
very nice the perspective and the POV of this splendid composition of the island of Vinalhaven.I like the reflections on the water as the shape of the half boat in the foreground, that create depth in the field.The colors and the light are managed great as the sharpness.Informative your note about the island.

Hi Tom
Beautiful POV from this boat that brought out the red houses and its excellent reflections. The colors are warm and vivid and the contrasts are beautiful indeed. The pier's fence is very attractive. Beautiful work. Best regards, Consuelo

hello tom

did you have any hickups last weekend, friend? we were talking about you and your comprehensive photo-introduction to american north-east. :)) back to your picture: out of your kayaking shots, i think, i like this the best. fantastic light, feeling of presence (there, in the water with you) and the composition is very pleasing too. my compliments!

with warm regards,
kristaps

ps. that island sounds like quite something... definitely worth visiting. i'm wondering how fast it will turn 80% tourist 20% fishermen though... also, what's the word amongst the fishermen nowadays? isn't the price of gas forcing some out of business? that's what i hear on rhode island coast.

Hello Tom,

It is good to have you back!
You have painted a delightful picture of this place. Just the sort of destination we would always have chosen for our family outings!

The ripples on the water lead our eyes, via the prow, towards the reflections, and finally the delightful houses. These buildings, as well as the name, suggest a Scandinavian or Dutch influence. The details of the architecture and the lovely deep reds, make an exciting scene.
Super composition and crisp, clear exposure.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Tom,
This is a great village! Your POV is nice with the front of your Kayak showing. The reflection is great showing nice depth and balance. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The red buildings create nice contrast with the nice blue sky.

Hi Tom!
I like you picture very much... it's very pleasant to my eyes: the reflection on the water, the colorful wooden buildings... all in a great POV and composition!
Sharpness is a plus as well!

hello Tom,
one of your best photos, I'd say, the warm light is pure magic, and the reflection nicely doubles the effect. I like a lot the red of the building, it's a great contrast with the cool blue of the water. including the kayak is a great way to strengthen the feeling of presence, I agree with Kristaps on that. really great shot, and also thanks for the informative note, will have to try and get to this island :)

with best regards,
Kristine

Hello Tom,

This is a gorgeous photo that I had missed, and I am happy now to see the image along with the highly informative note. I wonder why they don't use large ferries, ones that could carry 50 or more cars instead of just 16. The bow of the small boat in the foreground suggests that you are approaching the island by paddling. It is good to know about Vinalhaven.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Tom, a very beautiful place there, I like the way you present a part of it with the part of the boat it arrives to the harbor.
It has also very nice soft light.
Have a nice weekend.
