I like the black reflection of the boats in the water. The picture gives me the sensation of a melancholy farewell. Well done

Beautiful and peaceful shot. Two beautiful boats with beautiful colored wood and nice painted areas. Centered positioning works well. Well seen and captured.

Very nice. I like the simplicity of this shot. You found a perfect moment when the water was smooth to capture this...and I also like the fact that most of the shot seems to be mono with just a few colors here and there. Very cool. Well done!

Very nice Adam, simple yet effective composition. The mirror image reflect stillness and calm.

A very beautiful and serene picture. Reflections are great.
I am interested in the back of the boats where the two wooden pieces stand out. Could you tell me if they have a function in moving the boat forward or do they have another function?

Well done Adam - a simple composition of an interesting subject. Glad you weren't tempted to a heavy frame. This is lovely.

Superb composition and angle! The "wings" of the boats look great!

i like the reflections of the boats in still water. The empty boats, floating alone like that, give a very lonely sad feeling to the image. i really enjoy the old boats with the way they are painted and crafted. very nice, simple and elegant. well done

Very nice repeating composition with the boat along the diagonal. Nice soft colorscale.

Very nice composition, adam. The boats lying along the diagonal line. The shades of it in the water, are very nice. Simple, but beautiful picture,

Incroyable ce silence !! C'est magnifiquement fait, une très belle lumière ! On ne sait plus très bien si les barques flottent dans l'eau ou dans l'air, c'est délicieux.

nice shot adam, the placement of the boats is.... perfect in a non-linear kind of way.
