[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These canoes on the River Avon at Bradford-on-Avon, tied up rather like a bunch of bananas, are awaiting some action.

The river here is probably less busy with boat users, than the nearby Kennet and Avon canal, although there is a thriving rowing club just downstream from here.

Peter,
You prepared a good composition here. Colors helped a lot.
Well spotted and registered.

Good conrasting colors here and nice sharp capture.
When I look at it though I find I wish it was originally shot a bit tighter to bring more attention to the canoes than to the ramp and water fowl.
TFS,
Wilt

Hi Peter
This is a very good colourful composition.

Hi Peter,

The bright canoes caught my attention in the thumbnail. I do think I would do a closer crop of the canoes to showcase their brilliant colors.

thanks for sharing, Lisa

Great composition. I really like the vivid colours of the canoes / kayaks.
Well done.

Peter,
I like this photo. The composition works and the colors are nice, except for the blue kayak. The tip is a bit washed out from the harsh light. Perhaps as Wilt said, it could have been cropped in a bit but I like it.
I wonder how the shot would look in black and white.
Nevertheless, nice presentation.
Scott

hello Peter,
A well composed picture picking up on the bright colours of the canoes. I like the solitary swimming duck as it brteaks up the strectch of water and acts as a counterpoint to the bulk and colour of the canoes.
