This place has more potential for taking pictures! On one side is the Atlantic ocean and the other is this nice quite cove. The red little boat and the green grass, with all the grey of the storm just made the picture.

oooooooh! nice colors and composition - very peaceful feeling!
reasons like this i want to see the Atlantic!!! :D great capture.. i love the still water reflections
Dolph, you're on a roll! This is another really nice composition. I love the serene feeling of it, and the well balanced composition (color and subject).

more: As in some of Dan's pictures, this one seems a bit dark on my monitor. It's good as-is, but I can't help wondering if brightening it by just a little bit might make it even better.
Also, you should try to use a "large thumbnail" when inserting a picture into a blogger post.
Your "rebirth" picture was sized right, but the last two that you uploaded were too big again. It's okay to upload big image too, I just recommend sizing them to between 750 and 800 pixels on the long side to make it easier for people with smaller monitors to see the whole picture when viewing the original image.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
Warren,
I tried brightening it up, but it just lost something. As for the sizing...I just misunderstood. The last two were sized to 800 on the vertical side.....should be on the long side.
Do you have another way of sizing in Photoshop?
Dolph
I like the composition. Altho it may be dark, it has a really nice feel. The 2 rowboats really draw the eyes over. Is this what you were going for?
Dolph, did you remember to convert the file to srgb colorspace in photoshop? Pictures look better on the web when converted to SRGB colorspace. I also emailed a copy of this picture to you where I did some selective dodging and burning. Let me know how you like it.

Eric,
I was attempting to move your eyes to the boats. Nice to hear I accomplished it. I waited for the light to improve, but it was a dark overcast day.
Warren,
Can you give me some idea where to covert to SRGB. I thought I had done that during the save process, maybe someplace else.
Hi Dolph, maybe you are doing it right, and I'm just not picking up your file correctly. I use: Image/Mode/Convert to Profile/SRGB in Photoshop 7.

Dolph, this looks perfect to me as far as compostion, contrast and exposure. Maybe the upload is not maximized.
Dan
Dolph, you should enlarge and frame this. I think it would look great on your wall!
