I think a little filtering could have helped this. Bright water, dark trees. 6 nards656

Interesting shot. I like the perspective. Cool boats. They look like train cars.

I know a guy that lives in a houseboat like that... seems like a very interesting lifestyle! The boats seem a little dark here, but otherwise very nice.

Pretty place. I would like to know where this is. I like the sun on the water.

Nice corner of the world.

I like the picture except that I would have cropped off the boring buildings, but then it might not be the corner of your world as much. It's a difficult challenge to mark :-(

Very difficult photo to expose properly. Well done. I can't wait to read your description of this scene.

Very nice photo, good perspective and leading lines. Very British aswell :) I like the saturated colours, only gripe is the blown out reflection of the sun (in england?) on the water..

Tough lighting situation. The shaded areas are a little underexposed and you should get a polarizing filter to cut down on that water glare. You should have gone back later in the day for more even lighting. I like the composition. It's an interesting view with the angles. Overall, a few technical problems and the subject doesnt have a lot of emotional pull with me, but it's an attractive pic and a nice little view into your world - very Euro. ~indi
