Beautiful, Damian! I love the lighting, colors and the squiggly lines that are in the reflection. #22760

WOW - Thanks Patrica, RAY, Joy & birdie. Back in December I did a similar shot at noon and decided to go back yesterday and try the same shot under very early morning light. I was much more pleased with the results. The different lighting conditions provided more contrast and better gradation in the colours and made the shot more vivid overall...

I appreciate everyone's kind comments! #53549

Judy Wick May 26, 2019

Cool shot! Makes me want to see the rest of the boat and the water! #53550

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

Thanks Judy! #53583

Cathy M. Gromball May 26, 2019

Beautiful shot, Damian! I agree with Patricia!

Thanks you Cathy G. & Cathy M.!!!

My goal is to keep at it.... still have a lot to learn about lighting and such, but it's a fun learning process... #53658

Such an eye-catcher, Damian! Just awesome. #53836

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

Thanks JF & Kathleen!

Just gotta keep trying to find a new way of looking at things! #53935

Gary H. Minish level-classic May 26, 2019

I saw your earlier one, Damian, and I agree...the lighting is better in this one. More contrast and details in the reflection without losing the reflected light on the hull. Excellent shot and glad you went back! #54094

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

Thanks Gary! I really appreciate the feedback! My wife thinks I'm nuts (she could be right) for taking pictures of the same things over again. But it's the colour and geometry I'm after, the boat is just incidental... #54099

Another terrific shot, Damian ... love the colors, composition, lines, reflection ... absolutely gorgeous!!! #335222

Lyn E. Adams January 26, 2004

Hi Damian,
Just started to view this site and saw your photo. It's a wonderful photo. Nice work. I would suggest, that because it is so nice, I would take a little time and clone out the very few little imperfections that exist in the water / reflections. This photo is well worth the effort it would take... The colors are really great! #349133

Damian P. Gadal January 26, 2004

Thank you Lyn! I almost forgot about this image - I'll have to see if I kept this and play around with it some... #349553
