Very perfect shot in every way. Great focus and depth. Love how the reflections mirror the boats and buildings. Again I will have to choose as a favorite photo. I love your work. The lighting is great with the contrasts and contours. Composition of the scene is wonderful and so pleasant to view. Good initial impact, too. Such talent and skill.

Another winner!

That water IS like glass! The reflection great. I like that there are strong vertical lines -- the buildings. And the curved shape of the boats -- nice relief from the hard straight lines.

Very nice work.

Really nice. The tack sharp focus lends a nice documentary sense. The colors, and light give it a pleasant feel. Very nice indeed. Cheers, JR.

Comment from CMNash
This is beyond beautiful, it's amazing. I just love the super calm water. It looks like there is no wind at all blowing. Which in itself is amazing around the water. The reflections in the water are so smooth they are like a mirror image instead of a normal reflection in the water. It's a great photograph. Crystal clear and focused, with great clarity. There is nothing wrong with this work of art of yours.

Well it looks amazing, I don't know if I'll ever be able to go over there. But I can always hope. And you are very welcome.

Comment from Zilyram

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
I can see why any artist would love to paint pictures here. In your picture you have captured the Magic twice with the quayside building & the moored boats all reflected perfectly, you could almost reverse the picture and get the same image, except for dark water of the harbour & the lighter clear blue sky above. Artistic composition, beautiful lighting superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.
Susan
