Nicely composed landscape. The ripples on the water add a nice dimension to this, though I have to say I think the saturation is more than a little over-bearing.

Gorgeous colours that look very natural. The sharpness of the foreground grasses and boats is incredible. The ripple in the water adds interest.

Love the nice rich colors in this shot. The composition with the boats just off to the side is a nice touch.

Impressive sunset-landscape... the nicest is small ribbles on water and boats.

The boats looks so tiny, exactly how wide was this photo??

Its a beautifull shot, good luck..

Bear? Lovely study of seascapes at dawn. I like the ripples in the water and the balance and perspective the three boats lend.

great color and depth with those boats. 9

Very nice sunset. I like the colors in the sky and the reflection.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks a little over saturated to me (unless that's what sunrises in Nantucket Sound actually look like, in which case I'm moving there). But beautiful photo nonetheless. 8.

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning. Although I expect you would say 'sailor's warning.' An hour in the morning is worth two in the afternoon and when it comes to photography, I find that especially true. Your image is a testimony in support of that adage.

Great colours here in a moody looking sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/02/2006 01:02:24 AM
Very nice but too much added red for my tastes - just makes it look a little too unnatural.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2006 09:52:54 PM
amazing colour in the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2006 07:58:08 PM
Cool scene and colors. The sky combined with the land and ripples on the water makes for a very dynamic scene. Wicked amount of distortion on that boat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2006 03:35:13 PM
Almost too saturated, but really doubt this would look as good with a more real level of colors.
(assumed more real anyway - this may be exactly as it was seen for all I know)
Exceptional landscape - well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

pretty but you over saturated. It just looks fake. Subtle enhancedment is usually better. The shot it great though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the vibrant hues of this sunrise over the water. Composition is wonderful especially the boats on the water. This composition really gives the viewer a sense of waking up to a calm, quiet, and beautiful morning on the shores of Nantucket Sound. This picture is a lovely place to take a stroll.

 09/01/2006 08:17:26 AM
Wow. This is the first picture that made me say that so far in the challenge. I hope this wins!! (oh, and can I get some tips on taking sunset pictures?)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2006 03:05:33 AM
I think that the red is a little on the heavy side
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Powerfull use of the light,composition suites
