Jimbob, I think the fishermen have chosen the right spot to catch fish because the water here must be rich of oxygen. Very good composition and post work again. Very well done, mate. Regards, Cornelius.
Wha t a way to spend the day..I do hope alligators aren't that far north..A really nice relaxing picture Jim.....PS..So sorry about My team Newcastle United,Turning the crew over.. ;)
Get out of bed earlier, ya lazy bum and catch some of that morning light and this becomes an absolute killer shot.

Erhm, did I just type that out loud?
I guess.. I did.
:oP
Joking aside (just wanted to get your attention), I am serious to an extent.
It is a nice shot and changing the quality of light captured (time of day ... little too contrasty now and most definitely, a challenge for your camera's sensor) would readily elevate your image here to very good.
That red mill is outstanding and adds so much to this pleasing sight of the fishermen hip high in water looking for a catch. Always well handled and presented are your shots, Jimbob.
Great capture, Jim! Excellent colors and presentation. I like the way you set the mill "dead on" in the image. The clarity is excellent as well - I can see the rocks in bottom of the pool. Nice work, my friend -
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
What a lovely spot to shoot photos. I had no idea that Ohio was so scenic and varied. I wish more photographers on Caedes included people in their shots. On this one, it adds immense interest and some good perception qualities. And I agree with Billy. While it doesn't look like a Rockwell painting, I could easily see that he might have used this location. This one's a beauty. Probably a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
There's a mill similar to this one in western Minnesota, not far off the interstate. It has the same idyllic feel that you've shown us here but the thing that was really fascinating was the "works" inside; all the pulleys, gears, straps, and machinery. This was, of course, long before the advent of digital cameras so I have nothing but my own memory of the place. If you ever go back here, I bet I'm not the only one who would enjoy a look inside (hint, hint, wink, wink). Some nicely pleasing shots of this mill and it's surroundings you've taken, thank you.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Very good composition and post work again. Very well done, mate.
Regards, Cornelius.
