It's a simple shot, but I think that is what works so well here. The picture almost feels like a hand painted drawing. WOnderful variety of textures you used throughout the photo. I actually liked the textures in the top, but might have preferred them absent in the water. Not sure though. Good stuff.
Beautiful work! I especially like the color of the boat and the reflections in the water. Probably as stated by others, the very top of the picture distracts a bit.
Love the PP, and would love to have seen the image with far less trees in it, they really distract me. The boat/water/shoreline part is wonderful, and I feel like I would have cropped the upper trees out.
I like it! Split the frame then place the interest in ROT. The touch of light hitting the tree branches really adds to the photo as do the ripples in the water. Is this Skiff v.2007?
