Default Boats, more boats, and ...

These were taken today at the marina by a heritage farmhouse, and at Mud Bay. The cloud patterns were nice so I tried my best to incorporate them as tastefully as possible without having them take over (hopefully). I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks DRs. It was very quiet at this marina, and the weather was perfect.

Thanks Leona. I have been working on composition since got back into this addicting hobby, and I feel I am getting better as time goes on.

Thanks Steve. When I view photos from other members such as yourself, I can't help but learn from them. You have also been very kind in following my work and providing me with good sollid constructive criticism, which I have really appreciated. Cheers, mate!

I would say you have just about the right amount of sky in each one of these. Beautiful blue sky and bright wispy clouds.

Very nice. The sky is beautiful in the second, but the composition, subject, etc. in the first one is just superb. This would look nice on someone's wall.

I love them all. The 1st is my ultimate fave though. The clouds in the 2nd are fabulous too! I love boats and coastal shots. I'm envious that you live in such a gorgeous part of the world.
