Quote:Finished wittering now, thanks for spending some of your evening taking time to look (and even read!)
Finished have we now, taken me that long to read missed my dinner now.
As I remember it was raining and it was a bit of a trek to this location plus one of those silly o clock starts and you've gone on from this to produce some good stuff this last 12 months Fran hope the next 12 are as productive for you.

I like the mood captured in this one Fran, but not sure about the capture itself. I think my biggest problem with it for me is that there is very little that does not have motion blur. The composition works and I like the rippled reflection, but the sharpest object in the FG is the right hand buoy, which shouts for attention and drags the eye away from what makes up the tranquil scene.
Still gets my vote for the mood though.

Why these bloody boats have to be parked square on to the shoreline I do not know. They make a far better image if you can look at them end on.I also think they were better before they were painted green.
I remember the occasion very well as Merl had problems with her foot and she was awfully worried she might not be able to make it. If you had come yesterday or to day the weather would have been exactly the same however you would have got an equally pleasing shot.This reminds me I must go and see if your tree is still there.

Like the comp and crop Fran, but there's something that just doesn't seem to sit quite right.
The foreground water and up the side of the boats seems to have been selected and blurred, and so has no detail no ripples or anything, but the shadow under the boat does have ripples. The water behind the boats is rippled (as you would expect). It may well be entirely natural, but it just looks slightly odd to me.
I know you will take this as honest crit, so I have no fear (honest)!!
