[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On a very hot day we headed to New York state to take some photos, then decided to take the ferry to get to Vermont and continue with our day of shooting.

After getting off the ferry we headed over to Burlington's waterfront park where we shared our picnic with the seagulls, while snapping away at people jogging, cycling, kids swimming and the scenery.

These two ladies were relaxing and enjoying the view and as the ferry passed by I saw my opportunity.

Hi Dot,

Very nice framing on the two women, truly a decisive moment.

Well done.

cheers.

Hello Dot,

Lovely off-centre composition and what a relaxing mood you portray! I do like sharing the scene with those two ladies!

IMO, it just needs a little touch more saturation and contrast. (I am loathe to do w/s when everything looks so good but I tried the suggestions and it warms it up just a fraction.)

Many thanks for your warm feedback on 'My street ...'

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Yes Dot,

It is the 2 ladies on the swing-bench that make it a more relaxed picture.

A lovely mood on a lovely day I'm sure.

Indeed a very relaxing view! The swing structure creates a nice frame for the boat, well seen Dot! Rearding the technical part, the image appears a bit too bright, the clouds are a bit over exposed. Anyway a fine peaceful picture well presented!

Hello Dot

I adored to see this picture.
You Know, in my city, it is a very plane city, and the oldest people move for this place, for the lifestyle and for her to be glides to walk and to be like this, like you it shows me, observing the beauty of the place, to meditate and to take advantage of the happy moments of their lives.
Congratulations for the beautiful look and composition!

Hi Dto,
It is easy to see why these ladies are lingering on the old fashioned swing seat with a view like this. Very clever POV to view the ditant very through the chanin frame of the swing. Great details and wonderful soft soothing colors.
Regards, Tom

Hi Dot,
Gee I just must have missed you! I was there just a few days prior to you being there. My son lives in Burlington, and I spend alot of time their myself! Great place and lots of fun church street is! Great shot of the park with the two ladies enjoying the view of Lake Champlain.
