[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I spent part of yesterday walking around the harbour, to enjoy my Easter vacation, the great spring weather and smell the seas…

Lots of photo opportunities of course, however I settle for this simple one…

Behind the mountains in a distance is the Atlantic Ocean… behind that is… Canada! Hello there, guys…!

Happy Easter Holiday to all…

Hi Pablo!
Very good photo... especially I like the colour of water... it remembers me the best times from my voyages... (photos at trekearth..:) )
Excellent photo!
And Happy Easter to you, too.
Best regards,
Olaf

Good composition Pablo. Nice colors

Terrific shot Pablo
I love the three layers of colors and the life saver on the right side of the image is great, the composition and sharpness is perfect.
Thanks for sharing this beauty

Hi Pablo - A good composition of colours, lines and a circle. Simple and effective. Well done.

Cheers
Cordelia

Thank you for visiting my photo 'The big fire, 4'.

Hi Pablo,
How nice to have a vacation, I am actually at work taking a short break to visit TL. Great photo with the three different layers. The water has a really nice dark blue color and the sky does looks like spring has also arrived your part of the world. Great contrast with the live saver and excellent bright colors of it. Super composition.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo- I never ceased to be amazed at the beautiful blue in your pictures- I love the light blue sky, the dark blue water- the great orange, white and yellow around the life saver- a feast for the eyes- well done my friend!

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Pablo,
I like the composition here. Generally on landscapes you do not want to put the horizion thru the middle of the photo, but i think it works ok here. The life saving ring is nicely off centered and the focal point of the shot. You handled the bright contrasty light very well with your exposure. Nice saturated colors, and detail and DOF look great.

And just over Canada and further down south-west is NZ. See not too far away from Norway Pablo!!
I like your scene here but the water still looks cold, especially with the snow still on the hills - very chilly for me!
But the colours and details are all nice and sharp, and very well composed.
Janice

Pablo, your photos are driving me crazy :D What an awesome gallery you have here. Wish I could see them sooner. The composition of this shot is great. Colors & sharpness are all lovely. TFS.

Pablo, what a beautiful capture with great colors, excellent composition, and sharpness. One can almost "feel" your description, the view, the smell of the blue sea...Your work moves so fast, a testament to your beautiful photography, and the many fans who love your work, myself included!! TFS, Sam

Hi Pablo,

Beautiful landscape Pablo
the place is perfect for such!
As always perfect in the
landscape choices.
Congratulations and Good Easter for you

Sérgio

Excellent shot, simple but lovely. Great saturated colors, excellent sharpness and expertly composed for the outmost effect.
Well done, have a great holiday.
Vassilis

P.S. Thank you for your very kind comments.

Pablo, the contrast between the rich blues of the sea and the lighter blues of the sky is lovely. It never ceases to amaze me how richly blue the waters around Norway are when photographed. Now I have a challenge on my hands, trying to guess where this picture was taken… If you looked west from Trondheim and had eaten enough carrots you might see Canada, alas I think I need an Atlas.

Cheers Gazza

(Just looked at an atlas Trondheim would just miss Iceland but would touch the tip og Greenland, somewhere between Bergen and Stavanger then) ;-)

Great blue colours. I like the dark blue of the sea. Very clear and nice composition and contrast with red.

S.O.S Pablo.... je je wonderful landscape Pablo with diferent planes. Perhaps a photo looking in the center round focus the mountains will be a funny composition... GOOD DONE.

Hi friend,
great landscape with beautiful colours!
Nice details, composition, light, perspective, POV...
Happy Easter Holiday too you:)
Thanks ana:)

Hi Pablo,

It seems, you have had a very nice Easter vacation :) This capture is really nice. I like the landscape there and the subject is really standingout. TFS.

Kiran.

Goodmorning Pablo,

Hello from Canada, can see me waving in the photo above...I'm the tiny speck... :)
Good vantage point, the huge lifesaver adds
a little bright colour to the still cold blue seas. Well done.

Thanks for the view.

Marie-Lise

Superb colours and very pleasant scene.
But where is Pamela Anderson from Alert in Malibu ?

So it's spring there too!
Beautiful marine. (Is it a lake, river or sea?) Were you planning to take a swim and the life saver reminded you the water temperature? :)))))
Thank you for all your kind criiques Pablo!

Happy Easter to you too!

If I were cheeky enough, I'd use the mesh warp option of Paint Shop Pro and distort the life saver into an Easter Egg... ;) The temptation is big, but I won't damage your composition. :) Almost a postcard, but even better because it is less crowded. And yes, Canada looks great! ;))

Enjoy spring!

Our Easter holidays are over Pablo but the children are off school for another week :(. Lovely composition with excellent colours and perspective. The lifsaver adds an extra dash of colour. One thing I do miss about my old state is living so close to the sea and being able to smell the ozone. TFS,
David

A very nice shot. Good array of colours. I particularly like the bright red of the life ring against the deep blue of the sea. :-).

Hi Pablo,

This is a stunning composition and cracking colors!
Very nice seascape, well done.

Malik & Mary.

Vesta. Significance?
Vesta - the swan? Vesta - the match company? Vesta - the Goddess? Vesta - ?
Seems like you chose a nice day for it but not much going on, which is also good. I see no ships. Where's the big millionaire's boat at anchor? Probably sailing off into the distance, headed for Canada.

Hi, Pablo!
Thankis for the critique!
This is very intresting photo. Good colors and POV
PavelL

This is simple in concept, but very attractive, Pablo.
A fresh looking image, although perhaps a shade oversharpened, I feel.

Combination of blues from water and sky is interesting and in addition red & white life bouy is eye catching. Beautiful compostion of combination and contrast.
