Default Neat Shot!

Milstar,
I very much like your photo here. I love the muted tones and the fog/haze that you capture with the mountains and boat. A very dreamy early morning feel by the water. My one thought would be about the possibility of a tighter crop on the right hand side? I'm not totally sure, I've been looking at it for a while and can not quite decide if it would help or not. Either way though a great capture!

Thanks for the comments! I was also contemplating a tighter crop but left it as is because I liked the mountains (Channel Islands) dropping down towad the horizon. But, did you see it as pulling your eyes away from the sailboat?

I also like it. The somlonensce-ey feeling that I get is just great. I could picture this shot framed in some hallways of a doctors office or something haha. I do not think it needs a tighter crop. Maybe just a little bit on the right but i'm not sure. I cropped it with my hands on the screen and couldn't really decide on if I'd like one or not haha.

very nice shot
