Nice picture, Rob. I like the framing and the horizon not straight. Well done and I think John also like it.

Groetjes,

Don

Hi Rob,
This is a very nice photo to offer to John, We will take care of him while he will be with us. I like this photo and the framing but I find it just a little bit too dark on the left side. Otherwise very well done.

Nice framing. The best form of gift a friend could give to his buddy is a tribute through photograph, well aside from a new camera. JK! I think the photo is just too dark for my taste and lacks sharpness but that's only my opinion. TFS! - Rossel

Hi Rob, great shot and good for John :D TFS.

Nice photo, well placed with the slanted frame and saturated colours - all works very well to add to the impact of the image. Very inspiring the way you did this.

Hi Rob,
Great dedication photo my friend.
I like your note,colors,frame,pov and dof.TFS
Have a Great Vacation,
Chris

Hi Rob,

Lovely summer photo, my friend!
I'm sure John will love it and maybe bring up memories!
I like the tilt you gave to the image and the out-of-frame effect. It makes it look dynamic. :)
Well done!

Hi Rob,

Great PP work on this one I like that tilt and the out of frame work. Dark for some maybe but I like the mood you have created. Nice tribute to Oom John. All the best for where ever you are heading. TFS,
David
Many thanks for your comment on Tasmanian Winters and Lonely Kayaker I

Nice job with the tilt and other "tricks" - you turned it into a special composition, Rob! The colors are so rich...and it's a very nice dedication to your good friend John.

Going on vacation??? Have fun and be safe!
Gayle :)

Hi Rob. Very nice tribut to John. Great framing and I like how the sailboat stands out. Take care.

Very nice Rob. The photo escaping the frame...must have learned that from John so it is ideal to use it here. Good idea and very creatively done.

Hello Rob, this is a nice tribute to John's 200th post. I was not aware of it. Congratz Bro :)

This is very nice Rob. The photo is very sharp, the sky so blue and the way that you tilted the image in the frame and to make the sail go into the frame is very clever, I am still not able :)

Very well done! Take care, Yan :)

Hello rob.

You have some wonderful work here, so good to see others that noticed and remarked so. This is an eye caughter for sure, the out of frame effect is always a winner, great summery tones, welldone,.

Stv.

Bon Voyage then Rob!

Great post and tribute to your fellow Dutch friend!
Superb colors and dark contrasts. I love your tilting here!
Bravo,
Robert

This is such a clever and eye-appealing composition as a whole (I know I am very late in the game -- just saw it for the first time).
Having been an a sailing boat for the first time, I can say that the crooked horizon is most appropriate here even though the gentle waves don't quite justify it(^_^). The colours are very hot and perfect for here. Great POV (like we're in the action. All in all:praiseworthy.
Best regards
Silke

Very nice gesture for an excellent TL member. I like the creative presentation and the way you directed the light to the main subject. Very nice work!

out of frame photo very well done and effective

hey this is good...It's like 3D photos...you have done a good PP work...what a deep blue sky which make everything looks so outstanding...absolutely perfect...u deserve the points.

Its a great photo, love the bright photo with the sailboat and what a neat idea to angle it and have it come "out of the box" a famous JohnT techique..maybe we should start just saying I have this photo and I think I'll "JohnT" it...:o)
We'ld all know what it meant! :o)

Hi Rob. Good creativity in experimenting with the framing as you have done. Good subject and well presented. Murray.

Going back through the archives: well done in post-production. Nice touch with the slant framing. Good sentimental tribute.
Cheers
