21 May 2008 2:39pm
@Peter Miller: Yes, very much so. thank you, Peter.
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Beautifully clear water, and the colours are georgous. I first thought it reminded me of a pattern, like those seen in crop circles, but I think Peters discription fit's it better. wonderfully photographed Michael.
21 May 2008 3:00pm
@MaryB: Thank you, Mary. glad you liked it.
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Beautiful composition incorporating the line of buoys from one corner to the next. The angling also adds a nice dimension. The lines of the water almost look like a filter was added.
21 May 2008 3:50pm
@Steven: Thanks, Steven. A diffuse glow filter was mildly applied.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
J'aime bien le graphisme et la composition mais, si je peux me permettre, je trouve que cela aurait mérité des contrastes un peu plus accentués pour donner encore plus de force visuellement.
