Nice Composition..

Very nice.
03/17/2009 04:06:46 PM
This loaded a bit small, but I love the greens and blues and it makes me want to stop commenting and go outside.

Looks like a nice place for a holiday.

Looks like a beautiful place.. just wish that the photo was larger.
03/16/2009 10:22:43 AM

03/16/2009 02:20:00 AM
Well captured and presented.

Nice perspective and color.
03/15/2009 09:28:23 PM
Nice scene
03/15/2009 09:14:08 PM
this needs a more singular focus
03/15/2009 09:12:36 PM
Looks like a lovely place.
03/15/2009 06:59:45 PM
Beautiful location and nice colors.
03/15/2009 05:03:55 PM
Aaah New Zealand. I love the tree ferns.
Nice photo.
03/15/2009 12:27:43 PM
wish this was larger hard to tell the detail,
03/15/2009 12:01:26 PM
A pretty tropical scene.
03/15/2009 09:14:31 AM
This is too small to show detail and to accurately comment on. I think it would have been better though if you had composed the photo without the railing and fence.

nice place that might be special for you but Im not sure if its gonna make for the voters

Brano :)

This doesn't convey the beauty I'm sure you saw when you took the shot - maybe it's a bit dark?
03/14/2009 11:44:59 PM
Looks like a tropical paradise.
03/14/2009 09:10:19 PM
What a beautiful blue in that bay.
03/14/2009 06:17:23 PM
Gorgeous colors in the ocean. Looks like a piece of Eden.
03/14/2009 04:30:09 PM
nice lines, beautiful blue
03/14/2009 10:22:44 AM
Light and shadows too harsh. Wait until later (or earlier) in the day for this shot.
03/14/2009 05:08:52 AM
The lighting is not too flaterring.
03/13/2009 06:00:47 PM
The colors here are very pretty. You are probably getting lots of comments about the photo being too small. A bigger photo would allow us to see the details better.
03/13/2009 01:40:13 PM
Image feels rather dark.
03/13/2009 12:17:44 AM
Lovely ocean view, full of lovely greens and blues.
03/12/2009 05:10:17 PM
looks a beautiful place
03/12/2009 04:04:19 PM
nice panorama
03/12/2009 02:46:20 PM
Small pic might hurt your score.
03/12/2009 01:49:45 PM
The main focus almost becomes the stairs themselves.
03/12/2009 01:45:55 PM
great pic, a bit to small
03/12/2009 11:34:24 AM
I'm this is a beautiful place, but the technicals of your image don't do it justice. Tighter crops left and right would have brought out more of the beauty of the bay.
03/12/2009 09:19:03 AM
looks like a nice place
03/12/2009 08:18:15 AM
Pretty beach and boats. YOu are a bit to far away tho and there is more focus on the uninteresting parts of the picture.
03/12/2009 01:59:56 AM
Beautiful view, bit for me the photo leaves me flat, i think it is the lack of detail in the foreground...
03/11/2009 09:36:37 PM
Why so small?
03/11/2009 07:05:34 PM
the photo is dark, if you had done some more step photography we wouldn't see the fence to the right and more of the beautiful water and boats in the front.
03/11/2009 04:06:55 PM
A very small entry, but the view is magnificent.
