Ah well, but then you already managed to make this shot Michael! We live in countries that are lush and green, but that takes a bit of rain once in a while.
Reflections and contrast in the water is superb - the horizon interesting with that row of trees and for me the orange/purple really is morning colour.

Hi Michael,
This is a wonderful peaceful scene which is ephasised by the soft colours and excellent lighting. The early morning sunrise has created a lovely backdrop to the two moored yachts, which are well positioned in the frame. My only criticism is that it would have been better if the entire mast of the main boat was included.......but I suppose that would have left too much on the plain grey sky......difficult decision. All in all a very nice image. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello, Michael.

This is very nice indeed - I love those beautiful pastel colours in the sky and water.

It's incredibly clear and sharp too - do you tend to use that 50mm prime lens in preference to the usual zoom which everyone seems to use these days?

Kind Regards,

John.

The sunrise certainly worked its magic and the colours are glorious. I especially like the way they are reflected on the water. Worth getting up early for.

Oh, man... this is a nice shot, Michael.
The boats stand out in nice contrast and sharp detail to the the beautifully misty surroundings. The early morning light giving it a soft feel and peaceful mood. The colors.. both in that great sunrise and the boats and their reflections are awesome. Great mood captured and beautifully presented. Thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hello Michael,
There was a pleasant morning atmosphere in the marina that day!
In particular I like how the light reflects off the water with this shimmering golden effect...
An attractive contrasty composition, with a fine feeling of depth!

Superb morning shot, Michael. Beautiful composition and lovely, gentle colours. Boats are well positioned, and horizon at just about the right vertical position, but it's a pity the taller mast is cut off. Never mind, the shot is a marvellously atmospheric one. The water is glowing beautifully.
Regards,
Andrew
