Hi Andy,
Beautiful pier scene with perfect colours and sharpness. The reflection in the water makes it really artistic. Thanks for posting, best regards,

Beautiful processing here Andy! The only thing I see is that pesky horizon line has to be straight or I lose my mind! LOL! But it's another case where thirds can be thrown out the window as the reflection is as interesting as sky and boats! Nice work!

Hi Andy,
Beautiful colors, reflections and view!
Marvellous sharpness and detail.
Only one thing, as Linda says and I only noticed after having done a WS too, is the horizon. Since my WS is already made, I'll post it!!

Hi Andy,

I think I could take photos here all day. All of the different boats each have their own character.

Being that blue is my favorite color, I really like the blues of the sky and water. Very calm looking place. The clouds also add to the composition.

Nice one! Lisa

Hi Andy,

It looks a bit tilted though, but that can be easily corrected.

Well done.
Best regards, Daniel
