Bonaventure

Photographer's Note

Bonaventure Island was one of the first seasonal fishing ports of New France. It became a migratory bird sanctuary in 1919 due to the 1916 Migratory Bird Convention between Canada and the United States. The province of Quebec acquired it in 1971 and made it part of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé (meaning "Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock national park") in 1985. One of the largest and most accessible bird sanctuaries in the world with more than 280,000 birds, Bonaventure Island is a major tourist destination with boat and island tours every day from May to October.

Situated in Quebec (Canada), Perce Rockit is a massive stone (1,420 ft/433 m long; c.300 ft/90 m wide; and 290 ft/88 m at the highest point), rising sheer from the Atlantic. It takes its name from an arch 50 ft/15 m high near its seaward end.

Good shot - I like colours of the sea and the blooms. Nice you have those flowers in the foreground - I could almost touch them.
The only thing I would change here is the red inscription on the frame - the colour of the flowers would be nicer.
Take care
Ben
PS I enjoyed reading your note.

Excellente composition Vlad !

L'ajout des massifs de fleurs est un atout qui ajoute du punch a ton image.
Bravo.

Wow! Unfortunatly, I did not visite the island during my visit in Perce. The color settings, the sharpness, the composition with the band of purple flowers (there is a lot in that part of the Quebec, just look my path of dream photograh) in the bottom...perfect! Beautiful!

Well composed with the diagonals of the land and that from the house to the island.

Fascinating panorama photograph,Vlad,the composition is good and so are the colours. I like the purple flowers in contrast with green overgrowth and the blue waters. The little white cottage gives it a special touch.

lovely picture, great composition and colours, but it doesn't feel as though the horizon is straight.

Very nice shot that put into light the fantastic landscapes of Gaspesia. The line of flowers in front is a good idea !
