Looking Back - Karl Winkler

I took this early in the morning at Newport, RI, in August, 2001. I was fortunate to have several things in my favor, including the right position, the right lens, and very calm waters. The saturated morning color also helped.

Well seen

I like this very much. The SLR list ran a "Reflections" challenge last year and had some excellent submissions. This would have been amongst the best.

Composition!

Many of us get good reflection shots, but we seldom compose the image in the reflection as well as the ship is displayed here. Congradulations.

Well

... I just rated it seven - and that was kind I think :-) Good mirror , but that is all that I see in this shot. Maybe someone didn't like the slanted lines :-) Defenitely not a one. I would say giving this a seven maybe is a bit beyond what I normally would do, but what the hell it's a GWhiz-Weekend.

Talking about rating

Here is one that showed up on the "Have you seen this" box. Still as good as when I first saw it but suffering from a 1/10 contribution. Note that the contributor that gave the low rating has not commented. So we (none of us) can learn from this person, or argue with him/her or be confirmed in our own beliefs through the debate. Shame.

Cool

At first I thought "what's the big deal" but after looking again I realized that this is quite a unique shot. The more I see images taken with the 21mm the more I want one...
