horourke - Jul, 31 2008 05:07pm This picture has everything, the mystique of layers of islands and rocks receding into the misty horizon, a flat calm sea and even a blue sky!! mortimer - Aug, 01 2008 01:08am This is quite a good picture, I agree with you Hugh that it has a lot of interesting things in it what it lacks however is that it is not level, the water is flowing out of the picture on the left side. A little rotation would be necessary for my 4stars like it is now i go with ***, Ok? horourke - Aug, 01 2008 06:08am Very good point Martin. I was so busy imagining the smell of sea air, the impact of the ferry engine on the surrounding quiet otherwise broken only by the lapping of the tide and the aroma of flowering grass and seeing how the grass would look in sunshine that I missed the angle of the horizon. I have copied down the picture and straightened it and I find that in addition to the angle it is easy to brighten the colours leaving only the sounds and aromas to imagine. I hasten to add the copy is for my own enjoyment only and will not infringe the copyright of the site or of the photographer. Perhaps the picture does not merit four stars as a technical effort but as always the communication content of the caption and photograph is part of the assessment. Once again I stress that I have found Martin's observation most helpful in clarifying my impulsive jump to reverie without analysing the picture by a standard technical merit list. In my old age I am learning slowly to pause and reflect. basia - Aug, 01 2008 06:08am Very interesting picture. Nice place.
