About I took this while riding on the ferry to the mainland, you can see the masts and tell the water is moving. I really liked the blues and the light in the sky, and the reflections on the water, otherwise, this one is a little busy for my style. We've been having these incredibly blue skies lately, or maybe I'm just seeing them now that I've been working with skies and clouds...I also wanted to create a vignette, something I've never done before....other than the vignette which I did in CS2, this one is straight out of the camera..I hope you like it...:):)

hi,Linda...sorry haven't commented lately,but as you probably know,have been disrupted by those out to smear me and my photojournalism images...can email the rest;> ...i noticed the vignettng right off the bat and i like the effect for this shot...and yes, the blues in sky and water are very appealing...good reflections and shimmers on the water...you live in such a beautiful place and some of it reminds me of my former place of residence,Seattle (only 50 miles north of me,now, but just don't get there as often as i would like)...will return in a bit to comment on your other work...regards,gayle

Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 8/27/2005
Really nice Linda. I've been struggling with what's "too busy" in marina photos, and this one is definitely not. Very nice comp. Nice and peaceful feeling.

Excellent capture Linda, and indeed a wonderful sky, it is not so busy, this kind of shot mostly looks busy, but you managed to get the best out of it, I like it,
Kind regards,

Another great sky from you Linda
You have done some nice work here to pull out all this colour
Well done with a nice composition too


Gust@vo Sch3v3rin   {K:125472} 8/28/2005
Realmente muy interesante el efecto de oscurecimiento que aplicas alrededor de la foto y apunta la atención al centro de la escena...Como la haces?...con la cámara, o luego durante el retoque fotográfico?
Muy buen trabajo, felicitaciones y un abrazo!


Hussam Abdul Nour   {K:3714} 8/28/2005

Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59974} 8/28/2005
Amazing deep blue! This make me think of heat, fresh water and i would like to fish from one of those boats.

Danny Brannigan   {K:16357} 8/28/2005
Yes i like this one Linda and the vignetting has helped to concentrate our gaze to the central portion. The overall image may be just a bit fussy but a great sky.


Mark Hamilton   {K:8384} 8/28/2005
Hi Linda

Good Job great colour saturation and the vignette you have created works a treat. I don't know if I would call the image busy but a honest representation of what was in front of you.
Thanks for sharing.

Take care
Mark


Alison DuFlon   {K:36231} 8/28/2005
I love how the boats seem to wind around the harbor, did you use a polarizer,? the blues are outstanding. Alison


Roger Williams   {K:83282} 8/28/2005
It was nice to have a comment from you again, Linda... I've been terribly busy at work with little time to post or comment recently! I wonder what the attraction of vignetting was? I go to great lengths to eliminate it from the wide-angle shots of mine that reveal it! I agree that the blues are beautiful in this shot.


Carsten Ranke   {K:14453} 8/28/2005
The vignette makes the sky more attractive, and the strong colors are just after my fancy. In fact this photo is more about light and color than about the boats in a harbor. Nice one !


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 8/28/2005
Thank you Carsten, that's what did it for me too, and the vignette just seemed the ideal thing to do here, so nice of you to look and I appreciate your comment...:):)Linda


Paolo Corradini   {K:52722} 8/28/2005
I think it's a good work with lights and blue tones (always my favourites :) )

Paolo


Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 8/28/2005
This is very pretty Linda. It is busy, but that is the very nature of a harbor. I love harbor shots! What great colors...and natural!
Kathy

A sharp shot with some wonderfully deep colours, Linda.
Kind regards, Chris


Marcus Armani   {K:35759} 8/29/2005
this is a beautiful scene, I love the nice vivid colors and detail, great perspective as always, very nicely done.


George Black   {K:101993} 8/29/2005
Very pretty composition. "Straight out of the camera," eh? A filter?

Good work,
--George


Nigel Watts   {K:11045} 8/29/2005

Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47644} 8/29/2005
You did capture the beauty and the tranquility of this place, the colours and the moment capture enhance the atmosphere of this scene, superb. Saeed


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 8/29/2005
Yep, I used a polarizer but that's standard for me these days, it never leaves my camera, and then I did the vignette, but those are the actual colors....no filters...honest...:):)


George Black   {K:101993} 8/29/2005
Thanks. It is a very nice effect. --g


L. Gould   {K:11900} 8/29/2005
Perfect color saturation. I love shots of marinas--all those boats are just gorgeous and the water provides great opportunities for reflections. well done. :)


Randy Lorance   {K:24958} 8/29/2005
Hi Linda,I too have the busy/comment deficient condition :)
Nice harbor shot, it is busy, but then it's not about boats on open water and captures the congested part of boating. The contrasting blues of the sky with aqua colors of water is the strength of this shot, and I think the vignetting
pulls the image together, countering the 'busyness'.

Randy


Asim Roy   {K:9701} 8/29/2005
I love the colour of the water against the sky Linda, nice landscape, love, asim

Brenda Guiles   {K:6128} 9/2/2005
Do you live in Florida still? Reminds me of an image I took not too awfully long ago. Puerto Real? I have been trying to determine where that is. Regardless, it is a lovely image! I love sailboats! :)


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 9/2/2005
Thanks again Brenda, this was taken in Puerto Real, Puerto Rico...glad you like it and thanks for the comment...I'll have to go have a look at yours, I hope it's in your portfolio...:):)


Mary Brown   {K:68582} 9/17/2005
The colours are marvelous, Linda. The water texture is so well captured. It's a beautiful picture and vignetting is effective.
Mary
