Great photo. Colors, exposure, lighting, subject and tone are amazing. As a viewer, I wish I was there. I like how you captured the beauty of Greece with the ocean's color and the boat. Also, I like how you added the mirror effect.

Nice one ! You've pressed two of my biggest buttons - sea and water. This has great composition with greatdetail and focus. I like the way you have caught the rippling water on the boats hull. he very faint Greek flag superimposed is a stroke of genius. Overall a relaxing view - thanks for taking me there - Ronnie
ps worth more than 5* but that's the best I can do at the moment.

Very peaceful scene. Reminds me of parts of Crete. We love that part of the world. The waters are so blue and clear. I like this scene and especially the way you added the flag. Very nicely done Annie ~ Steve

A very nice and tranquil nautical scene posted here. Your shot has good composition and lots of interest in the scene. Sharpness and exposure are excellent. I am not too sure though whether the superimposed Greek flag adds to or detracts from the photo? Otherwise, well done!

A very clear shot with excellent, natural looking lighting. Creative post production work with the addition of the faint flag that appears to be blowing in the wind. Nice reflections on the water and boat. Well balanced composition with the boat and rocks in the background. Nicely framed with an excellent DOF. Looks like a great day for sailing. Very well done. ~Alveria

The basic concept is good in this work. I love the colors, and it seems to create a peaceful setting, maybe a day of fishing, and now just resting in the boat in a peaceful cove somewhere. I don't feel the white in the left top add anything too this. Its distracting from the calm peaceful feeling the rest of the scene brings, instead of an easy flow of the eyes through the scene, my eye always goes to that far left upper corner. It takes away from the serene setting.

    For your information, the white stripes you dislike so much is the Greek flag. I am sorry, but I have difficulties taking a review with this rating seriously. I think you should read a bit about how to review and rate, because your rating indicates that my photo has serious flaws. Reviewing is not about taste but about technical skills in the execution.

A beautiful view and an artfully composed shot. I like the colors of the scene and the way the the buoys and life ring on the boat provide contrast to the scene. Excellent detail and the flag is a nice touch.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Masterly how you shift a simple picture into something very attractive, with deep thoughts and stunning perfection in technical skills

I specially love in this image the subtle banner and the handsome reflection on the crystalline mini waves on the boat - that light reflection enhances the entire picture making it really special

super layer work and excellent emerging process -
your picture is taken from a nice angle and view point - some how you managed it to get some close up and far distance well balanced together
excellent composition, fantastic adjustments, clear and hyper sharp in details, handsome contrast and lighting,

great performance Annie, would love to be there just now xoxoxo
