[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another view of Lake superior. to give a guess, the boat has 2 decks and has a capacity to carry about 150 people. this was taken during a fall trip to Upper Peninsula in Michigan. To get more information, visit this site . It is a memorable experience to see the colorful rocks that are visible. And with the sun light kissing the rocks, it is a feast to our eyes.

hi rajesh
it's a beatiful photo... this location is very pleasant... the pov you selected is perfect... i think it will be more attractive if you trim out the entire sky and provide a good border...

It's a nice composition Rajesh. The branches in the foreground act as a nice element to judge distance here. And the curve of the rock on the other side gives a sweeping effect. Wider might have captured that better but this seems like it might have been at the limit of the lens so obviously not possible to go wider. The color ranges from the beautiful hues in the foreground to the deeper blue of the lake beyond. Perhaps that sky could have been cropped out. There's a bit of overexposure on that rock and boat. Perhaps exposing for the rock would have worked better. Also this is a good place for a polarizer. Should work very well for getting richer colors in the water. But it is a good composition I think capturing once again the beauty of the big Lake that can be so violent at other times.

Hi Rajesh,
Wow the water colors, you turn the lake Superior into a south sea paradise ;-))
Good overlooking Pov and well shot as the ship was passing by, slightly overexposed on the ship but on the whole very luminous and colored. Funny to see the curve on the horizon resulting from the wide distortion.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Amazing lake. In fact it looks more like a sea…

Nice framing, and the inclusion of the branches in the left side work well by giving the feeling that we’re there. The colors are also quite appealing.

Still, the image is very bright due to the strong sun which overexposes the cliff and boat details and produce a bit of aggressive atmosphere in a scene, which works better with a serene mood. In these situations, putting the exposure compensation in negative values is a good idea to filter the excessive light and balance the exposure.

In PP you can perhaps compensate this by reducing the highlights.

Very nice ... I recently took a photo at I think the same spot, in the pictured rocks.

Great view of the lake. The boat is looking like a toy. The lovely one is the mixing of blue with green over water.
Thanks for sharing this great view.

Incredible that this picture was taken at the Lakes. It looks much more like a mediterranean scene in Italy. Very enjoyable POV. Interesting detail that the horizon has a curvature.

i like this photo, it has alive feeligs.
