Default Boats at Ross Castle, Ireland

I have always liked the colors in this photo. Wish I could have shot it earlier in the day, but this is what I ended up with. I would appreciate any critiques on it. My first time posting.

Thanks,

Nathan

I'm afraid I can't see the thumbnail.. And you need to be more specific about what aspects of your photo you want critiqued.

Thanks for the info Swissjon. Didn't know the picture didn't upload. I'm still getting used to the website. I'm looking for comments on color and composition and simple good or bad opinions.

Your colors are good but for me there are way to many distractions in the image. Things hanging off the trees, cars in the back ground, nothing for my eyes to focus on. I would suggest a much simpler composition.

Keep at it will come
Nice work

I agree.. Too many distractions.. I've tried a crop on this, and can manage to get rid of the cars, but I'm still left with the orange on the trees.. You need to take a different position and try to photograph just the boats with the water in the background.

Yes this photo has some great colors but has way to many distractions...
