ARRIVING IN MAUI Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Photography is an art form. Can you tell an artist painter what he/she cannot do with his/her paint brush?" - Anonymous

I just got back from a four island Hawaii vacation. Hawaii is a beautiful place so I was so inspired to take pictures for my photography album and as subject for my watercolor painting.

This was taken as our ship was slowly docking at Kahului, Maui Island, Hawaii. People were slowly crowding the deck with coffee cups and cameras on hand. It was a beautiful day and my wife and I were preparing for our tour to the "Backroads of Hana".

Hello Andre,
looks like an arriving full of expectations. I like your view to the passengers looking out for the harbour of Maui. Beautiful colours and nice reflections on the window. I also like the shadows of four people in the right corner. Great composition with many surprising details to detect. I like it.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Hello Andre,
Nice composition, with the part of the ship illuminated by the Sun, the blue sky with clouds in the high of the photo, and the people well distributed in the space.
Regards,
Carlos
