[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A very colourful shot taken at Dell Quay.
I have cropped out the top of the picture, raised the colour saturation on the water and added a frame. The coloured reflections are caused by some boats, a tree and some sky.
Neat image used.

Hi Michael


Awesome colours and reflections.
very pleasing to the eye. Well done and thnx for sharing.

SF.

Brilliant photo Michael, stunning colours reflected on the water. From a technical pov, the crop at the top of the boat a bit tight, but there probably was something in the way. and maybe boat is slightly too centered, but still a stunning capture. jaco

good work...a touch extra on the top with cloning would have been better...for me
and you are pretty clear about processing so we know exactly what was what

Hi Michael,
I love this shot, the colours are wonderful - so sunny and warm. Just good in this cold and grey days here. Also a funny name on the boat :-) Thanks and bye

Nice,sharp and colorful picture,Michael! The water reflections look like a mirror! Nicely framed! Michel

Hello Michael. A tad different from your normal work with all that vivid colour. Excellent PP work and lovely colours and reflections. TFS
David
PS many thanks for the comment on Flood 1

bonjour michael
de bien belles couleurs pour un ensemble calme et appaisant.

I have looked at various ways of cropping the picture to put the boat to one side-but none worked. Where it is doesn't bother me and I think it's because it is high in the frame and the picture is not cut in half the way many reflection photo's are. Exposure is spot on and colours are eye catching.

Thanks Michael

magnifiques couleurs avec un superbe jeu de reflets dans l'eau . je suis désolé mais je n'ai plus de points à donner pour aujourd'hui ...
splendid colors with a superb set of reflections in water. I am sorry but I do not have any more points to give for today...

I adore the light and the reflections of this photograph. They give much richness to this "cheap skate". The composition is unusual, but very effective. Cheer! Annie

VERY nice - nay, wondrous! Fabulous reflections/distortions surrounding what I must refer to as almost a very ordinary boat - save for the name!!! Deep and crisp and even. '10'.

Great image! I enjoy those yellow reflections near the boat! It's so colorfull! Wonderfull work!

Beautifull photo. I love the colors and how your cropped the top half so you couldn't see what the above objects really are.

Oh, what colors and reflections!!! Beautiful.

Hi Michael, you have a beautiful shot here. The colours and reflections are just superb. Maybe too tightly cropped at the top and a bit too centred, but I think it really doesn't matter here. So well done.

Yes, very colourful Michael! I also like the composition, the reflexion and the frame. Well done!
Guy

Very colorful indeed !
But still realist. Nice reflections too. But I have to agree with Jaco. I think , you should have keep more space at the top over the boat.
TFS,
Robert

Les couleurs ressemblent et se mélangent comme dans un rêve.
BONNE SOIREE

Beautiful color, I love color Michael, this is a very nice photo you have here, very eye pleasing, even though the boat is in the center it does not bother me, nicely done.

I have quit the point system no need to give me points, I won't be giving any either but am very interested in your comments on my photos.

have a nice day
Christine.

Hi Michael!
Nice photo. Great colours.Amazing reflcted in the water.
Anna

Actually I don't have words to describe this fierce celebration of bright liquid colours in your picture Michael. They have set your frame on fire making that poor sombre 'Cheap skate' look totally unwanted there!
Lovely time of day to catch this ethereal dance - full of vigour and vitality. Superb.
Mukesh

Man, I just fell for this shot, its like it could be a painting straight out of my childhood. I just had to take it to the workshop and paint it on wood. I hope you like how it turned out, I took notes on what I did. :)
Thanks!!
Randy

.. i like the burst of colour here. Nice one!
Best regards, Daniel
