initial impact is very good. the image is beautiful. the sun in the background sets off the glow over everything.everything is centered correctly and the focus is sharp. there's nothing to nit pick about here. excellent capture.

Lovely shot. The dramatic sun in the mist, the ship and the boys on the canoe instantly tell the story. Great job. Cheers, James.

Super shot Fred, love it. Sounds like a real wildlife area for so many animals and reptiles. A great focus, frame and exposure for a peaceful scene.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A wonderful & dreamy picture of the sun setting in a misty Apricot sky that is reflected on the lake water, the sun's refection like a flickering flame cuts a path through the rippled water to where you are The young men on the small boat adding the human interest. Artistic composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
Susan

It's a nice pic. I would've taken some of the background subject matter out with an editing program to make the pic a little more serene.

I've lived in Japan so it brought back good memories of that time. That part of the world is so beautiful!

reply by Lilynitestorm on 02-Feb-2015

I don't plan on using editing software either. I want to show ppl I have a natural talent for taking great shots....
I can actually see this pic in like National Geographic or something like that tho,,,
