Treklens , after my last 'in between ' fun photo in honor of Silke's 45 birthday .. and my own Granddaughters in the workshop there,
back to the more ' serious ' stuff.

Like my second last photo .. and info.. here again a shot taken at the North Coast of Spain..

A very nice place called: Tossa de Mar
(Once also used for a Hollywood Film with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall )

Standing at the same location as previous, this time a shot 'steep down' ..
We see 3 things: The coast -bushes .. a fishermen's boat .. and a crystal clear Mediterranean Sea at least there 100 meters /110 yards deep clear water,
We can see all the way to the bottom here

The colors are natural !! W Y S I W Y G
(what you see is what you get )

This photo again, was taken with my first SLR..The Canon 350 D (US Rebel XT )

Have a good weekend Folks
John T

Hello frere, very nice close-up on the boat and the nice transparent water. The boat seems to be floating in the air as the water is so clear.

The little patch of greenery on the botton left frames it well.

Hello dear friend Johnny,
Glad to be first to comment.
What I love in this photo is that turquoise blue water. Lovely colors and very clear.
That little boat (empty) adds a nice touch. Waiting for some ride on this beautiful water.
Very nice composition.
Hope one day will get chance to see Spain too.

hello John

Your high pov gives this shot a nice BG green color of water as backdrop and contrast, making the boat stand out nicely. Nice if you sit in the boat and drink beer.

The frame is perfect for those deep colors you get when closer to shore. The white boat very inviting and offsetting the whole composition
Superb

Hi John,

Wonderful view . .

Great shot my friend . .
I love to see clear sea, and playing with my little fishing rod and bait . . I have this kind of lovely experience . .

Many thanks for your kind words on NIKE .

Spanish east coast: fantastic...
But do you know some italian east coasts?
If you will ever need a Cicerone...! ;-))))

Another excellent shot as usual... great clarity and mood.

Ciao, Antonella

nice simple photo john :)
it looks like the boat is floating on air :D

Nice place to work John. Just turn your head a there is another image worth your attention. The water is really impressive - amazingly clear! The band of vegetation in the lower left hand corner is out of focus and a bit of a distraction.

Dan

Hello John,
Attractive simplicity!
The colour of the sea is stunning, and the small ripples reflect the light differently and creating some kind of pattern...
A lovely composition where the white boat is an eye-catcher!

Prachtige waterkleur en een goede compositie.

Well seen indeed, John. I like the simplicity of this view. You've placed the white fisherman's boat effectively in a lower corner, next to that tiny bit of coast. The beautiful mix of blue and turquoise nuances of the water does the rest to please the eye. - Cordelia :))
PS: I personally would not have added the shadow effect to the frame, it somehow seems to divert attention from the image.

Re-bonjour John ! :)
Une eau si limpide que la barque semble être en suspension dans l'air ! Une couleur incroyable.
Félicitations.

Good shot. The simplicity is very nice, just the boat, the bank and crystal clear water. These elements have made a very nice photo. Mainly because it was taken from above.
