Neat shot. The composition is fine and the coloring is nicely understated. It just looks a little too tame. Do something wild to it.

Great photos Toad. I wish I'd get my but out there for some hots.

Very nice atmosphere and composition with the shot. The colours are lovely..

Great shot, I'm getting withdrawals, haven't been out in over 3 weeks.

It just looks a little too tame. Do something wild to it.

I actually had a couple of wild versions that I discarded before I settled on the more subdued one - maybe I will reserrect one...

nice photo toad i like the filtered color effect.

I love it. I think the strength in this shot is how soft the colors are. Don't go wild at all.

Beautiful picture Toad.
I hadn't seen it before.

Great work with colors, and contrast!!
So difficult to get foggy pictures and yet make your subject look interesting.

[Toad]

Gosh thanks - I had forgotten all about this one...

Nice, Toad: I was just having a look to see if an even tighter crop(ie, more "horizontally panoramic") would work even better. There's a lot of restrained power in the land mass just behind the ships..almost as if it is a huge ship itself, but yet again I might be going off all intense again..

Thanks Zig - I have done a couple of different crops of this one since this was posted a couple of years ago. I am not super happy with any of the crops - maybe its just not that interesting a shot - more of a graphic really...

Beautiful colors indeed!

I like the cascading composition "ship-ship-forest", but the tapering off to the left also makes me feel unbalanced. If it was mine, I would probably try a crop from the right to stabilize it.
