Pretty flowers, Patricia. Price was reasonable, I know you love your roses. I prefer carnations. They last so much longer.

This is a photo I almost ditched. Then I took another look at it. The boat and the people are in good focus. It was a hazy day and the sea and sky are kind of well blended. I've left plenty of space for the boat to "row into", though the photo may benefit from some cropping adjustment so that the horizon line isn't so much in the middle of the photo. There is something about the photo that I do like. Comments good and not so good are always welcome.

To me, the grasses are what make this photo more than just a boat with people in it. Very nice depth.

Thanks. Someone in one of the photo forums also commented on the grasses adding to the photo. I got a little lucky on it.

I think it's balanced very well, don't move it down etc. My only suggestion would be to ask someone in the boat to put on a red Tshirt to make it pop, then take it again. (not about to happen, eh?)

What makes it interesting is the total lack of color except for oars and a couple arms.

That too. Sometimes when out and about, scenes speak to me and I just press that shutter button. Sometimes I don't see what I captured until I get home. I guess, this was one of those times. I appreciate the comments and your perspectives.
