Freedom Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Ol' Joe's got a Boston whaler
he bought in Key Biscane
He swears since the day he's got her
she's been nothing but a pain
when the sun's at his back
and the winds in his face
it's just him and the wheel
he wouldn’t take a million for the
way it makes him feel

boats
vessels of freedom
harbors of heeling
boats

Newport is where John hung his hat
til he lost his wife Jo
now forty feet of sail and teak
is where Ol' John calls home
he watched his life pass before his eyes
in the middle of a hurricane
came out alive on the other side
that’s where "the other side" got its name

Boats
vessels of freedom
harbors of heeling
boats

twenty years of a landlocked job
was all that tom could take
sitting at his desk
all alone and depressed
says this just cant be my fate
went home that night and told his wife
you can tell all of your friends
it's been real but it ain't been fun
gonna get us one of them

boats
vessels of freedom
harbors of heeling
boats

vessels of freedom
boats

A tribute to boats.
A song from Kenny Chesney!

Kalispera Vicky,
A simple composition but a very beautiful one.
The red boat contrasts well with the blue water.
The reflection of the red in the water is very nice but also on the hull of the boat we see reflections of the light in the water.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Vicky
The boot is too centered but its red color is very effective against the surrounding blue
Have a nice day JY

Hi Vicky,
Red, white & blue. Great colours. Nice POV.
Reflection is fantastic and adds a lot.
It is simple and I like it. Very calming effect on me.
Warm regards from Australia,
Graham.

Γεια σου Βίκυ,
Πολύ όμορφη η κόκκινη βαρκούλα σε ωραία αντίθεση με την καταγάλανη θάλασσα και υπέροχες αντανακλάσεις.
Καλή σου μέρα, Βασίλης.

Γεια σου Βίκυ,
Ωραία χρώματα εδώ, το θέμα σου (κι η φωτογραφία σου γενικότερα) τραβάει αμέσως τη προσοχή. Όμορφη αντανάκλαση, καλή αντίθεση.

Μπορεί κάποιος να πει ότι το θέμα είναι τοποθετημένο στο κέντρο κι οχι πιο δεξιά ή αριστερά όπως προστάζει ο κανόνας των τρίτων αλλά εδώ πιστεύω πως λειτουργεί αρκετά καλά.
