Utterly fantastic

Where did you take this?

That´s a 10 as far as I´m concerned

James just told me about this image. It´s enviable.

This is wonderful

... but I like the other (B&W) image better because the horizontal composition is IMO more balanced and the image itself is sharper.

Perfect composition

This could be used in a textbook to represent the rule of thirds. Way beyond that though, it's a beautiful photograph. Great light and angle. I think hard before I give out a 10, but this is one to me.

wonderful - but not a 10 for me

This is a very compelling image, the reflection of the net on the water is great, the second boat in the mist, and of course great composition. That said, several things keep this from a 10 imo ... harsh, overly blocked up lighting, soft detail, and very odd coloring. Still a great image.

Wonderful!

Didar, This is a compelling image. Excellent images always take you beyond the medium. Congrat's on getting into the Hall of Fame, it is well deserved. Linc
