Barry Wakelin   {K:7838} 11/30/2005
Nicely cropped and perfect light. Have you totalled up the value of the boats in this picture?!


julie hugill   {K:6293} 11/30/2005
Feels just like you can step into this picture excellent colours and reflections , am way behind on comments again have such a hectic life at the moment you know. Lovely work again as always Chris ...

Regards Julie


Jara Parijayee    {K:4964} 11/30/2005
Detailed brilliance of the color of the light, structures, DOF and ambience. To me, the TWO COLOR CHROMATICA is the most appealing aspect.


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 11/30/2005
Somewhere around 6 zillion quid, Barry ~ and that's less than half the marina!!
Thanks for the comment,
Chris


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 11/30/2005
No worries, Julie!
I know the feeling well!
Like someone said to me once, "we signed no contracts"!!
Nonetheless, I very much appreciate your comments when you have the time to drop by.
Best regards, Chris

Oooh nice one... you really 'come around' now do you... one day you're up a tree now you're in the (boon)docks... LOL!!! Beautiful colors (that 'blue/white combo' is fabulous), super reflections, love the way you got the skippers to line up those masts for you... ;-D, super crop and excellent composition... well done!!!
BTW after your last 'critique' I look more like a red giant (to keep insync with the star theme...)... LOVL!!!


Ninni Termine   {K:8961} 11/30/2005
Wery good this deep perspective of boats, also this very interesting ones, and perfect the light and the the clouds reflected on the water.

Ciao

The Lovely and Delectable..Marina

That's another 'excellent' comment rating for you, Brian!
Had me chuckling all the way to bed!! )
Best regards, Chris


Alastair Bell   {K:29571} 12/1/2005
Yes I do like it Chris! So serene and peaceful. Good etails and DOF but I wonder if it would benefit from losing the jetty in the foreground perhaps? Don't know....

Lovely scene and beautiful weather (it was nasty up here today - wet and miserable)

Alastair


Lily     {K:10991} 12/1/2005
Image is perfect Chris. I like the square crop, works really well. Did you use a grad filter on the sky?


Laercio Gomes   {K:3672} 12/1/2005
Bonito!


Giorgio Goretti   {K:15471} 12/1/2005
ehm... to be honest i was expecting for a Marina with two (hopefully) beautiful legs!! ;-) LOL !!
glamorous marina anyway... and what a beautiful light!
BTW Chris, are you still waiting for the snow?
According to some british scientists, the gulf stream has decreased its density about 30%, so they'll figure a drop of 10 degree in the northern european area, next 10 years! Well, not a good news indeed, even for those (like us) who like snow!
Of course 'cause the human (endless) stupidity, my friend...
have a great day, Giorgio


ricardo longhi-frantz   {K:9648} 12/1/2005
wow!! you are a master of light capture! wonderful shot! delightful clarity and details too!


Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 12/1/2005
Gorgeous, Chris. I love marina shots, and this is (as our nephew used to say) "A Dandy!" Well done!
Kathy


Alicia Popp   {K:82240} 12/1/2005
Estupenda composición. Precisos reflejos llevan la mirada, y se pierde en lo infinito. Felicitaciones por la captura y por tu galería


Hanggan Situmorang   {K:37746} 12/1/2005
Superb moment and light, Chris. Congratulations!


Robert Kocs   {K:89061} 12/1/2005
Fantastic view with lovely colours! Well done!

Cheers!
Robert


Roger Williams   {K:82213} 12/1/2005
It looks as if you got a medium-format 6 x 6cm camera, Chris. Beautifully sharp without an artifact in sight, and a fascinating range of blues and silvers. I think it might look almost as good in B&W, although the colour IS wonderful.


Zeev Scharf   {K:24593} 12/1/2005
Excellent capture of this marina Chris,the clouds formation and reflection are awesome,superb colors
Many thanks for nice comment on " Old nice bridge"
I am very happy you liked the effects here
My best regards


stingRay .   {K:136763} 12/1/2005
Wonderful marina shot Chris, with great details and colour, a stunning skyline and reflections. Beautiful!! All the best ..Ray


cessy karina   {K:14205} 12/1/2005
I like very much the atmosphere in this picture, the row of boats, the lights, the reflections, beautiful marina indeed
a lovely piece of work, Chris


Antonio Trincone   {K:23167} 12/1/2005
what is the golden hour? I understand it is a "happy hour" ;-) but would like to know if at sunset, sunrise or just serendipity :-)))


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 12/1/2005
Many thanks for your kind and lengthy comment, Giorgio.
Your thoughts are always appreciated.
Best regards, Chris


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 12/1/2005
Many thanks for your kind words, Cessy.
Best regards, Chris


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 12/1/2005
I look upon the 'golden hour' as being the hour before the sun sets, Antonio. The light then can be very beautiful.
Thanks for your comment.
Best regards, Chris


patrizio napolitano   {K:13119} 12/1/2005
another beautiful image of your earth.
be correct!
the inghilterra is not only country and castles, but has an enormous tradition on the sea!

ade mcfade   {K:12388} 12/1/2005
how do you nominate a BIP??

Seriously - this is BIP material Chris.

got a superb vanishing point with everything leading to it, great tones and a lovely sky, extremely crisp in the foreground etc.

a cracker


Carsten Ranke   {K:14453} 12/2/2005
Superb composition and your trademark colors, perfect ! One never knows... The sky looks so real to me, must be the original sky (I guess, but one never knows...)

Cheers

Carsten


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 12/2/2005
I'm so glad the sky 'looks real' to you, Cartsen, because that's exactly what it is. The original sky!! This is just one image that I've cropped to a square to get rid of the burnt out sun that was shining powerfully from the upper right of the original frame.
Here's the original image for you to compare?
Best regards, Chris

Straight from the camera!


Carsten Ranke   {K:14453} 12/2/2005
Thanks for the original shot, I was quite sure that the sky was real. Looks as if you had the square crop in mind that moment


Rosario Esposito   {K:9796} 12/3/2005
La luce č spettacolare, bello il taglio.
-Rosario-


jude .   {K:14625} 12/3/2005

Beautiful, perfect details! György


Jan Symank   {K:15755} 12/6/2005
I like the white and blue color combination with the warm light in between, also the perspective, which creats a nice depth.
Very well done, Chris

Jan
