Love the light and dark contrasts although I probably would have cloned out the house as I think it distracts from the boat. The colors are fabulous...especially all of the greens since I live in a place that is in a serious drought. That glop on the left looks delicious and would be perfect for some skinny dipping. This is by far the most tranquil scene I've seen in weeks. You live in a wondrous universe, Richie.
For once I agree with our palral Roger up here - about the house. Contrary to them all I cannot see the peace as prevailing mood here. Light, hidden life, colours and vibrancy. In other words - 3D - ready to step inside. SAM & SAAB
"Serenity" was my first thought when I took this one to full screen. Then, noting the boat first and its reflection, I saw the house back behind the trees. My first thought was..."Wow! Someone actually can LIVE here. That's probably their boat. How very nice for them." So, I like the house because it gave dimension to my concept of this scene. Love the colors and the clarity as well.
An idyllic and peaceful scene. Lucky residents of that house ! I like the inclusion of the house - it suggests thee is someone there to come and use the boat.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
