J'aime beaucoup cette photo, l'endroit semble merveilleux. Peut-être un peu trop de sharpness à mon goût, mais c'est juste une question de goût. Belle réussite.
I like very much this photo, the place seems magnificent. Maybe too much of sharpness to my taste, but it is just a tasteful question. Beautiful success.

Nice shot! Good job with the extra work, it improves the image. There are a couple of things still though, the horizon still needs a little work (1.51°CW), I find the frame appears to merge into the image in places, and I think you can bring out some more shadow detail using contrast masking. I've posted you a Workshop with those changes added, I hope you like it. Well captured :-D

Agree the picture is oversharped. But it keeps the main attraction highlighted - the boat and the color of the sea. IMHO all the rest should be left secondary. Adrian's workshop is 'exaggerated' a little I guess.
Wonderful composition!

Great Picture! What a paradise. I like Adrian's workshop, but I also like your original picture. I think your framing is just perfect. Not too much and not too little. Just right! Good job.

It's a picture-perfect shot, but I would have even liked it more a bit softer. Black frame is a nice idea. This one could go straight onto the cover of a National Geographic magazine.

Hi Rui,

This is a very effective point of view, i llike the way the contrast is emphasized by the use of shades and colours. TFS

Rui,

This looks like a beautiful place to be. The color of the water goes well with the green vegetaion. However, I find this picture to be a little darker in the f/g. Perhaps, this is because you were in the shade under some trees and possible couldn't avoid that. I like the workshop done by AdrianW. It has enhanced, brightened, and sharpened for what this picture should be.

Needless to say, your composition and pov is good. You have managed to capture a father and son looking out and admiring the beauty which they most likely see daily. The boat is a nice touch and not forgetting the cat, which makes it more daily life and a sense that this scene is near a village.
