Hej Gunnar,
The title, which is the caution shown in your photo, probably is an important one, as there are often other people around. This time it was yourself. A good photo with lovely summer mood, good clear colours and excellent sharpness. Thanks for sharing!
Hälsningar,
Lasse

Hi Gunnar!
This red shirt here really is eyecatching. A very favourable sight in these days. I like the composition of the picture out of these different "layers". An inviting sight indeed...

Greetings from Siegen, where it is snowing since hours!

Hej Gunnar,
The red teeshirt caught my attention among the otherwise quite boring thumbnails today. Now that I see the picture better, it's actually the great log with its fine wooden pattern that appeals most to me. It's a nice composition radiating a pleasant atmosphere, and with an interesting view across the bay.
Hälsningar,
Gert
PS congratulations on passing 9000 points.

Hello Gunnar,
Just as well if you were standing right behind him :-) I also like the 'wet paint' notice which adds a nice touch of humour. Very good colours and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Gunnar,

The f/g is so eyecatching because of the red-shirted fisherman and the wonderfully detailed log. My eyes lingered there for quite a while before I moved on to absorb the rest of the shot.
The b/g is nicely detailed and yet there is nothing to distract from the main image.
Well done.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

- Very nice composition Gunnar, everything is in color, texture and veins of the trunk of wood are a undeniable bonus, well done!
Greetings.

Hej Gunnar,
this fluorescent bright red (and a bit of yellow to match) is far too attractive to be overlooked ;) though, on second thought, I doubt if I can say for sure which "object" is more attractive: the fantastically looking tree or the boy wearing a red t-shirt :)
By the way, for me the background is also interesting (at least for me): those houses and palm-trees... I know that I will never go there, so it is interesting to feel the atmosphere of the place through a photo.
Warm greetings,
Elena

Hello Gunnar,
An image very luminous, but controlled, of daily life and leisure. A good framing and a good sight on the Californian coast. A work well done and pleasant.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Very good shot of the boy fishing. The red catches the eye immediately, but I also note the wonderful detail you have captured in the wood-work. The background is very appealing too.

Gunnar,
This is a nicely composed shot showing the different layers of the scene from the wood pier to the mountains and sky in the background. The lighting and colors are fine with nice sharpness and detail. The red shirt provides excellent contrast for the shot.
TFS,

Hi Gunnar, Nice summer shot, daily life is here, food - you mean this mackerel? Event - maybe. But what was decisive? I am joking, of course. Nice to see palms, ocean and blue sky. Warm regards

Hello Gunnar,
I had missed this nice capture.
Not only daily life, event, nature, and food but also quite humouresque !
The red t-shirt is a real eyecatcher and rounds up the compo.
TFS and best regards
