Ah, a fog shot. :)

Truly though this is fantastic. Perfectly composed, beautifully exposed. Great mood and detail. Nice PP work - it doesn't show in the slightest!

Hi David,

but WHERE'S THE BRIDGE?!

(kidding...!)

very well composed, soft photo. I wonder if you processed selectively different areas of this shot for the ship is rich in details and being still soft is very soft, while the rest is a little out of focus. Both merged gave excellent effect - you have nice, but not disturbing background and very prominent primary object. Excellent work! tfs

Hell David,

My computer went down too!
Could it be overload from all the 'Themers' trying to upload at once!

Just a quicky, as I am due to go out in 5 mins! A wonderful shot! Just 'timeless' in its appeal! I do so love these foggy shots that you produce; they are ful of an inferred mystery! Quite recognisable as a 'Refugee' shot!'
Great composition. Lovely blurry outlines and reflections. Well done!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello David,
Beautiful atmosphere. The boat draped by the fog is well positioned in the frame, and very sharp. Truly recognizable as your signature shot. Danilo

Lovley as always, my friend of many faces. The fog is very thick in this one indeed. I love how you get your subject to be so clear and detailed, with all the fog surrounding it. Beautiful boat and perfect composition. Great idea for the theme.
Warmest regards

Hello David,
Wonderful photo. The fog adds a very special atmosphere very well caught. I love the difuse
lines behind the boat and the soft reflection on the water. Another great «Refugee work». Congrats, mb

Hello David,
What beautiful photograph - around a few at least of reasons.
Wonderful composition with the marvellous sailing ship, the wonderful fog and at the same time the wonderful sharpness.
Unusually romantic.

Hello David, I like these shots of yours with the mist creating a mood of mystery.
This is a good composition, and surprisingly despite the mist there is still a reflection.I like the absence of an horizon.
As Els says, this is becoming your trademark,well done.
Tfs, regards Jean.

A really superb capture here my friend. Has a wonderful relaxing feel to it and the DOF is just perfect.A lovely addition to the theme


TFS and for joining in the theme

Hi David,
I like your 'fog' shots ... you certainly mastered the way in making the fog work to your advantage. The atmosphere the fog creates is sometimes eerie just like this scene ... looks like a ghost ship. Good depth and lighting. Well captured and composed ... excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hello David, wonderful shot, excellent composition with the placement of the ship and the boats behind it desappearing quickly into the mist showing how thick it was, great mood. Excellent pp work as well

Hi David!
I thought I visited this scene before.....
You have quite a nice collection of such scenes and, I had mentioned before, they all would make a good looking book.

Hello David
Fog is known as an incentive to introspection and in this case it prompts me for a morning coffee, seated on a pile of ropes somewhere on the stern and imagine she has the wind in her sails!
Best regards.

Hey David

Actually a nice separation by nature.
The complete BG seems to blur away - only the ship can be seen clearly. Nice effect

Best regards
