Hello Danilo,

Besides having captured the early morning 'blues' with lovely tones, you have composed this shot really well.
We get a feeling of distance over the water before we meet the anchored boats.
Lovely reflections!

There is a little pixelation in the f/g which could probably be removed with the blur tool.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello, Danilo -
Really great composition with the horizontal band of background boats the old, long foreground boats coming in at a slight angle. You managed to produce sharpness at all depths. Nice warm colors. Well done.

Hi Danilo,
A splendid soft seascape!
Nice reflections on the dead calm water.
Beautiful emersion of these four prows in the foreground, thus creating a deep DOF.
Glorious lighting and accurate sharpness.
A very clean presentation.

Hi Danilo, dominant in blue excellent work with excellent reflections ...looking in the bottom left there is a shadow reflection of you IMO I would probably have cropped this corner to remove ..but perhaps you intended it to be there

Hi Danilo,
What a beautiful photo!
The composition is priceless with the long boats in foreground which broke nicely the horizontality of the image. I like much the blue tones and beautiful diffused light in the horizon where the boats are reflecting. Nice to see your shade in the corner of the image, too!
Really, this is a splendid morning scene!
Bravo! Annie

reflection, charming ambiance, very neat, excellent
lighting and effective POV... I can see your shadow on the left:)splendid work as always..

Wow, this is really great Danilo. Love the tone of blue in this shot ..
Great composition. The graininess you added certainly doesn't bother me .. it's subtle enough.
Really nice job Danilo

dear Danilo,
various tone of blue on the water and in the sky is very impressive,
like a morning blue dream just before awaken...
long boats look the finger of walking sunny foot.
lined boats around the horizon make very calm air.
lighted and quiet view is peaceful in a morning atmosphere.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hi Danilo

There's a little bit of noise in the lower right, but that's easily fixed in photoshop, by adding a little gaussian blur. Good sharpness, contrast & graphism. Tfs!

Hi Danilo,
I like the power blue theme. Was your silhouette accidental or intentional? Simple yet soothing composition.

Bonjour Danilo,

I wonder sometimes if people take time to read the notes that we write, as many here asked questions in their critiques that were already answered in your note... And they check it as useful.
I guess I do not need to write tons of lines about the composition, as it is all fine, yes, with your silhouette in it.
colors, bla bla, contrast bla bla, light bla bla...
Now, let'take a look at the details.
First I am amazed by the density of the air pollution (I can see the same thing daily in my suburban area near Tokyo) so close to the sea.
But it creates a good depth of field...
About adding some noise, I think it can work here, giving more texture as you say, but on the other hand, you lose some clarity, vital for water, as it now looks somehow muddy.

Nice PP work anyway.

Ciao Danilo


This is wonderful Danilo,
this place is real!
The colors of this place is fantastic, the light
elements in the marina and even your shadow
in water, leaving a beautiful sight!
Loved your horizon with all the boats together!
Congratulations my friend ..

Hi Danilo!

The composition is superb inculding these old boats for a fg interest and the new ships in the bg. The additional noise works well. You caught well the peaceful atmophere of the morning. TFS!
