[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken with Fuji Velvia 50 ASA, scanned. Minimal changes in Photoshop. Filey, Yorkshire coast.

The forground is a children's paddling pool. In the background you see the curve of the bay and to the left in the shadows is the town. The horizon curves downwards because of the extreme wide angle distortion. The curve of the sky bending upwards in the opposite way to the curves in the forground is what helps to make this composition for me. Due to the evening light I underexposed to make the most of the colours in the sky and the pool. It was more important than trying to get all the detail in the buildings to left.

I appreciate you taking the time to look and comment. Thank you.

I love the effect the wide angle gives, a brilliant comp, (*_*)

The sky makes this picture. Very nice colours.

The pool gives the impression of a volcano lake. The sky clouds seam to have a relation with the pool. And sucked in. Nice composition and good seen.

Hi Paul

I like the circular pool, & outer curve of the fence. The blue monochromatic color, is superb. Good work!

I agree with Wallie, the sky makes the picture! the circular lake(refelcting the beautiful sky) in the foreground adds so much. Lovely blue, good wide angle and an excellent composition. TFS

espectacular. colores fantasticos y muy bella composición.
Saludos

Nice colours and the reflection also. I am a sucker for reflections.

This is the first time I've seen two tilts going in different directions. I'm puzzled how that happens. I know you used a wide angle lens. It almost looks like a distortion from a fish eye lens. I'm quite a novice at lens, so not sure exactly how this was achieved. Anyway, I like the shot very much even though I questioned it to myself many times when I first saw it. I know you are a professional, so I trust in your judgement. I like the blue tones of the scene, and of course, that wonderful dramatic sky.

Es una fotografía preciosa, el lugar es muy bonito al parecer, pero lo hermoso va por los colores y la oscuridad en su conjunto. Esas nubes cirrus perfectamente dibujadas en ese cielo misterioso es precioso.
Excelente.

A very eye catching photo, Paul! Great composition; I'll use the word disturbing (in a positive way) because nothing else comes to my mind at this time. That sky is to die for! Excellent!

What a beautiful shot!!!!!!

So FANTASTIC sky......

on se croirait dans une autre dimension...on pense en regardant la scene que quelques chose va se passer...le ciel bleu animé par les nuages annocant la pluie...se refletant dans cette espèse de piscine...des formes arrondies bien rendues...bien vu pour l'ensemble indigo...rire...sans jeu de mot)))oo
amicalement BI

I love the colors.

I like this delicate shade of blue on the sky combined with a brilliant cloud-scape and an additional reflection on the pool!! Beautiful! Thank you Paul!
cheers
