Another nice dreamy picture.

I like the shadows cast in the water behind the 4 objects (boueys? crab pots?). Behind the closer one is a rich blackness. They eac have a second shadow that reveals the water's texture without the strong reflections. This is a complex and interesting image! nit- I'd have cropped that little slivver of a reflection at the top left.

Lovely iridescent pastels. Could the drums be scanned a bit sharper?

The unsharp was due to long exposure, the objects has some movements.

I thought these were boats when I saw the thumbnail. Great still water. Like Mickey, I would have cropped it just a hair to avoid that slice in the back.

Lovely, lovely! Composition, colour and and the jammy lucky luck of finding such a lovely photo... but would I have noticed it the way you did???

The texture of the water is just perfect. I really don't think I would have thought of this. Now that I've seen it, this is something I must have a go at (where is that 300?) ASAP.

That water looks just like silk; smooth, pastel-coloured and lustrous. Quite another way of looking at it. Very nice.
