Hello Gunnar.
I think it's a very well composed scene, with the girl's red t-shirt standing out nicely against the blue tones. I like the very gentle light and the subtle colours, the delightful atmosphere of calm on this Summer day. Just a suggestion - crop a little from the bottom of the photo; I think there is a little too much pavement, perhaps. Otherwise, I like the picture a lot. This is the south of Sweden, is it not?
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Gunnar,

I think I could tell this was one of yours as soon as I saw it as a thumbnail.

Composition:

The red foreground element is well positioned as an "anchor" in the image, on an intersection of thirds, and the far horizon also lies on a thirds line.

There is a good lead-in from the right hand side, where the older wooden boat is moored, across to the boats along the quay, then on towards the left hand side of the image.

There are fine reflections in the water. The old two-masted boat on the far side of the quay looks interesting.

Technical matters:

As usual when I critique a picture, I have a look at the histogram in PS "levels", to assess the range of tones in the image, from the blackest to the whitest pixels on the curve of the graph. It's fine here at the white end, but there is a small deficit at the black end suggesting that the darkest pixels in the image could be further exploited.

In the WS I've added the usual thirds grid, but I've also applied Auto levels to bring out the darkest tones. A bit more fine tuning using "Curves" would adjust these darkest areas more precisely.

Kind regards,

Peter.

Good evening Gunnar,
I like this first human plan as well as the boat. The bâteaux ones are full with details which make be delayed the glance. The light is agreeably captured, the reflection is another attractive element of the image. Good realization. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially
