Okay I'll give this an All Time Best status medal...
I know most reviewers will stop reviewing when they see 25 views!

Exquisite image.
Impeccable presentation.

Surreal creation.
Dreamy smoky effect.

Thanks for sharing...

    Thank you Dickson. I did not realize that people stop reviewing when they see 25 reviews. Why would they do that? I am not sure if that has ever happened to me, or at least I had not noticed, although this one did not get as many reviews as normal. A bit abstract for many I suppose. At any rate I do very much appreciate your commentary and great rating my friend ~ Steve

    I always noticed that on my posts! Also with 14 reviews...;-)

    They're too mean to give you the medals!

I like the creativity of this image and how your effects that look like smoke or fog, give the scene a distinct dreamlike quality which is inviting and draws me in, especially when I enlarge the image.

Comment from ArtistCharles


This is a magical looking image. I think it would have been a good shot well done even without the added effects. So if you start with a good image and do the right things to it, it becomes a new good image. Good focus, good DoF, nice colors, magical effects. Well conceived and executed.

    Thank you Charles. You are exactly right. Since I only use an iPhone for the challenge I am very cognizant of the image I am taking and thinking ahead about what I can do with it. Actually this was a pretty nice sunset shot. Thanks again ~ Steve

Hi Steve, You certainly added a mystical feel to this image. It almost has a ghostly feel to it. Steve your image creates a lot of stories in the mind's eye. WE may not be able to pinpoint the story but we know strange things are happening.are happening. It is quite an image that grabs your attention immediately! Super Job creating this one Steve! :o) Nancy

Very artistic rendition. Fabulous colours with super impact. Like your presentation. The design and positioning of the features are all well balanced. The subjects are clear to recognise. The sky effect and reflections are an inspiration. Very well done.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


OMG - this is a wonderful presentation - I specially love the clear natural silky waves creating a clear window in the center - your color range is harmonious and your picture is well balanced with excellent use of space
Clear and sharp image with perfect contrast and lighting - I think this work is very impacting at first sight as your artistic applications create an impression to look into a different world
a joy to look at, well composed well done

You added light effects are fantastic. They transport this scenery into the realms of myths. The ghostly reflections and shadows and the colored lights near the boat are especial interesting. The colors are fascinating. The smoke around makes the dark clouds looking like Brigadoon, the city which emerges once in 100 years. The creation is beautifully composed and framed.

    Thank you so much Cleo for your wonderfully artistic and detailed review and comments. I had not thought about Brigadoon and you are right. It does remind of that mythical place. I especially appreciate your Grand rating. The Main thing is that it brought you a bit of pleasure to view. Thank you again Cleo ~ Steve

Nice capture of the boat here. The picture is clear and the focus is good too. I like that you got an up close shot, which puts more emphasis on the boat. Beautiful! Good luck to you
