Thanks Ian - I hope I have others at least almost as good but clearly one of my favorite photos. Ray |

Thanks and yes I looked at the later image, which I actually prefer just a little bit - thanks for sharing |

Some but by far no expert. My suggestion is to send me a raw copy of your image so I can see what it looks like. Of course I will not keep the image once I send it back to you. My email is rrtice47@gmail.com. |

Gary, Great image and its good that you gave room for the direction the boat was going in. I kinda think that less sky would be useful unless you want to have the sky appear as large as it does in the image. I was curious about what the image would lokk like if it was monochrome, realizing of course that it would lose the punch of the maroon sails. I ran your image through NIK Silver Efex selecting the full dynamic harsh option. I also cropped the image so that the water line was on the bottom third which removed sky to balance (see attached) - and a note - when I opened your image in LR Classic, there was a spatter of places where the whites were blown out and you might want to fix that before submitting to a competition or that just might be the jpg copy I have.

Peter, Like the others, I am impressed. I took a photo from the same spot last September but of course nothing like this - perfect colors. perfect placement of the sun, and both cars and people on the bridge. I do favor the pano option that Butch suggested as I don't feel that all the sky adds to the image. Ray |

Ian, great pano - wish I had been with you! Every where I look I have something to draw my attention and the presence of the liner sure helps to provide scale. I hope that you were there later in the evening and night to capture those situations as well. Ray |

Dave, one of those lessons we have all learned over try he years is that once you have more than one judge (or more than one colleague willing to critique), its a rare and maybe nonexistent image where there is complete agreement. For me, I go with Gary especially in keeping the sagebrush. I had a great photo trip to Death Valley and your image reminds me of how I felt there. Thanks! Ray |

Butch, a great image. I agree with Sherry that I could not recognize which birds they were (I was thinking Canadian geese since I am familiar with them). And I applaud your willingness to brave the weather conditions at that time of day and over that distance - at least you left with something very positive. I was trying to decide whether the out of focus birds should be there or not and decided yes and they add depth to the image. I enjoyed seeing the image. Ray |

Sherry, nothing much more to add except in cropping the sky, I would have left a little more above the mt than Butch as it seems a little tight to me, and I found that a lot of my older shots have spots that I need to take care of and your image has 3 up at the top and cropping would get rid of those. As said, its a memory photo and one to make you smile. Ray |

Thanks Gary, There is a time where I had the image flipped horizontally so that the dark sand originated in the bottom left corner thinking that might make it a better leading line but decided it was better to keep the image accurate and it still worked out. Ray |

Butch - I greatly appreciate your comments. We all have shall I say lots of less than perfect images and having one that not only I like but others is really special. Ray |

Thanks Sherry - I must admit it is one of my favorite images and to some extent its because the original was so poor. Be great to go back, wouldn't it. Ray |
