[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These brightly-painted boats 'the LUZZU' are as much a national image of the Islands as the Maltese Cross. They are descendents of the boats used by the Phoenicians. The Luzzu is the traditional fishing boat.
On their prows, you'll see the Eye of Osiris, the Phoenicians' god of protection against evil: an example of ancient myth in modern times.
Maybe Osiris is watching from above!

Nice angle, nice crop and unusual POV - great to see something different here on TL Francis..
I particularly like the flared reflection of the sun. A little sharpness lost in the very bottom right of frame but overall great DOF at f20..

Nice shot.

Whaa a superb lower POV, to make this Luzzu such a giant think to enjoy! I like the wonderful harmony of colors, used to ornament the Maltese traditional fishing boats. I like the way you did framing to this original work, my friend.

An exceptionally well done job!

best regards,
Paras

Hello Francis,

Hello, Francis -
This is a fantastic composition with the lines of the boat at a great angle. Incredible warm colors. The sharpness is quite impressive with the f/20 producing a wonderful starring effect on the sunny reflection. Excellent!

Hello Francis Xavier,

Amazing good composition.
Great clarity, light and vivid colors.

Best regards,
Tatjana

Ces Luzzus sont déjà très photogéniques par leurs couleur et leurs décorations mais tu as surtout su y ajouter une grande originalité de cadrage et un joli "coup de soleil" qui donne vraiment beaucoup d'intérêt à ta photo.
Amicalement

Congratulations,

O I like this very much The colours are wondrful and blend with the sky perfectly The pov and composition are excellent Is the shine natural or pp work? Either way it is appropriate TFS
warm regards

Hi Francis,
I love the creative angle and the sparkling of the high gloss paint by the sun. The saturated colors are most wonderful. By taking this photo under this angle, the photo became very dynamic and it gave good focus to the eye.
TFS,
