Re: Summer lake

It's very blue!

Seriously, I can see why you take this fg, and don't worry, I can understood why you got up early.... but I hope you remembered to go back to bed again afterwards I will make some comments about the picture giving my thoughts on how you might improve it another time as this is what you have asked for.

The picture has a reasonably interesting sky and the water is nicely lit. However for me there is a lack of anything to really settle my eye on and look at. The boat is too small to really see much detail and is almost in a striaght line with the only other things that punctuate the image, the two marker posts in the water. The lighter part of the image is to the right and this is the area the eye would normally be drawn towards in a picture but when we get there there isn't really anything to see. The boat is to the left which is the darker area of the picture, de-emphasising it in the image as a whole. The tops of the two markers unfortunately stop at the worst point, exactly 'touching' the horizon line. If you had dropped down another few centimetres, those would have pierced the sky above the horizon and broken that line up slightly to create more dynamic interest.

Don't get me wrong, the overall texture of the picture is very pleasant, including the water. It just doesn't have enough, in my own humble opinion, to make me keep looking for very long.

Please forgive me if my comments discourage as that is not what I intend at all. I do hope though that my thoughts - only as valid as yours, not more - will prove of some use to you in simply seeing it from another perspective.

I am looking forward to seeing other ieces of work.
Cheers,
Rob
