Hello Mary,
The compositon is superb and very pleasant. The light and the colors are natural. The accentuation appears a little strong to me. It is however a beautiful and pleasant photograph. Cheer.
Have a nice sunday

Bonjour Mary.
Sur la vignette on voyait mal les deux occupants de la barque, ils sont un vrai plus pour cette simple mais belle composition. J'aime le rouge de la barque et de son reflet, il ressort bien sur le gris du paysage.
Bonne soirée !
Jacques

salut mary
un bon reflex pour avoir l'oiseau dans le cadre, la barque occupe bien le premier plan avec ce beau rouge, le pélican est la cerise sur le gateau

dear Mary,
a poetic view shot,
red/white boat and pelican/seagull are beautiful combination,
very calm and settled water surface makes good depth to distant shore.
gray sky and water look also quiet too.
thank you,
Akihisa

ciao Mary,
bello il taglio verticale con barca e uccelli protagonisti dello scatto.
Colorazione grigia dello sfondo che contrasta con i colori vivi della barca,
buona serata

Hello, Mary,

This is a lovely composition. The red boat brings cheer to the grey calm of the scene. How perfect that the bird flew by at that moment :)

Regards,
Lisa

Ciao Mary!
Bella immagine con la barca rossa sul bel fondo grigio! stupendi il gabbiano ed il cormorano ( o pellicano?) insieme e così vicini! Ottima composizione!
Saluti, Nino.

Hi Mary,
this is a fantastic composition with a great mood! I love the natural colors (the combination of grey-blue, red and white is very pleasant) and the wonderful light. My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hello Mary,

In spite of an excess of sharpness, a very beautiful photograph on the cohabitation between a pelican and a gull. I like your framing. In fact the excess of sharpness gives an effect of water frozen to surface. Pretty glance Mary.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Hi Mary,
Such a nice picture. It's very peaceful. Colours are wonderful and sharpness is really good. It is a pleasure to look at this. Well done!
Thanks for sharing,
Darek

Hi Mary,
I was going to look at your latest post, but this one is calling for my attention. I love the mood you have capture here, Still raining I see the ripples in the water. the bleeding of the rusting colors into the red is really nice, kind of like water color painting, except much richer colors here. The pelican and seagal resting on the board lead our vision further into the distance and the pelican in flight. Lovely composition and good exposure for the low light condition. My complements. I really enjoyed it. Thanks
Way

josepmarin (35787) 2009-12-13 3:49

Hi Mary,
The boat with its vivid colors in foreground is a great element in your composition, which is outlined strongly on the water and the sky with a few grey very interesting tones.
The gull and the pelicans add vitality to the image.
It is a beautiful work.
Best regards,
Josep

delpeoples (9520) 2009-12-14 1:20

Hi Mary, I love the simplicity of this shot, yet there is so much to it: the beautiful bird-life, the positioning of the boat within the frame, the strong colour against the darker tones and of course the reflection. Great job, I look forward to seeing many more photos from you. Warm regards from Sydney, Lisa

feather (51050) 2009-12-16 12:23

It seems like such a grey day but that background is perfect for the vibrant red of the little boat, which is facing into the image making a good job of being the lead-in for your composition. The pelicans and gull are fantastic additions to the scene.

Hello Mary
I like your gallery so much, this one is a pleasant and a romantic shot, the red boat between gray around while the bird flying gave me the feeling of live.
Excellent capture.

Best regards and happy new year.

Hello Mary
I like the contrast between the gray sky and sea and the red of the boat, to enrich the scene you knew the right time to capture the flight of the pelican.
Congratulations, goodbye.
Paola

batalay (22453) 2010-01-18 13:43

Hi Mary,

It's very good to see you back. This image shot late last November is beautifully composed, with the pelican sitting on the small fishing boat, and another pelican in flight. The brilliant red of the boat adds a warm highlight to the photo. (I just returned from the magnificent Caribbean, my experience tempered by the horrible earthquake in Haiti, virtually as my cruise ship sailed by.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Charo (34486) 2010-01-20 14:47

Hello Mary,
Very beautiful composition and the presence of pelicans and gulls. It seems that the day was somewhat hazy, but has not prevented the image to have an excellent light.
Best wishes,
Charo

Really tranquil water surface and uniform tones, with the colour- and position-wise nicely dominating boat. The birds add a nice story as well, there is a fishing net in the back of the boat... so wonndering whether those two cheeky ones hoped for a free lunch or at least leftovers :)

marietom (33027) 2010-02-01 12:45

hello Mary,

Bonne soirée

Ciao dear Mary,
I really love the soft colors of this beautiful image, enriched by the suggestive reflex of the boat and by the flight of the pelican. Excellent depth of field also with the haze. Compliments, dear friend!
Ciao, have a nice day!
