Very soothing, it makes you feel like your really in the boat. Great Job!

Welcome to Caedes, great first post. As I know your new to photgrapghy I normally wouldn`t have mentioned it but as your keen to learn, I would say the is the sky looks a touch over expossed. As your using a point and shoot camera I have no idea how much control you have over the shutter speed or apature so I can`t really offer any advice. All I can say is take your camera everywhere and take all the pictures you can and you will soon learn. Wish I could be of more help. I hope you enjoy Caedes and your new camera and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Hey Sheila,
Good luck finding out all about your new camera, (~8 8~)
As Ian pointed out clearly, the sky is overexposed, this means that your camera is unable to capture its detail for they are too bright to capture,
On the other hand, if you would be to expose the sky correctly, exposure for the final image would go down (you're making the sky darker than it is now) and the foreground (read the river and park) would turn out black (underexposed),
You can see the effect of darkening the sky before its light (and details) reaches your camera's sensor (the megapixels) in reflections in the river,
I looked up the Olympus FE-210 and concluded that there isn't probably much you can do to compensate the effect but as you asked for some photography related comments; I hope I could make you aware of the issue and the way it affects your photographic style,
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing

Welcome to Caedes! I too am learning alot about photography from my Mom and the people here.

It's a nice shot and great first post. I find it to be a little out of focus.

Thanks for sharing! You'll really like it here.
