The sea was so calm and the colors so soothing that the boat looked like a toy in a swimming pool. Shoot in a beautiful but windy Greek island (Koufonisi) where the sea is rarely that calm.

Bit squint, slightly soft, but great colour. Composition is good apart from the fact that it's not level.

Gave it a 6.

I can't tell if the boat is miniature, but it's a very pretty picture.

Beautiful colour and depth, makes you want to wade out to the sail boat

Lovely photo but does not meet the challenge I'm afraid.

This is a beautiful image - but I do believe the only thing that suggests miniature is the title. Great composition, I love the way the bands of color are formed by the sand, shallow water, deeper water, and two tones in the sky.

I certainly like the water you've captured in this one.

Well that's one very big toy boat.

I love the progression of blues into the indigo purple of the sky. Just beautiful!

Love the colors in this photo, I have a picture similar to this in my portfolio.

I love this picture, however the sky seemed to throw it off just a little for me. Good luck!

is that a toy boat, or a real boat far away? if it is a real boat, then i'd have a hard time calling it a miniature. now, if you had a real toy boat floating by in the foreground, that would be a completely different story. lovely colors, could use a little sharpening.

I really like the colors and the composition, but where is the toy boat. There is no way that the only boat I can see in this shot is little if it is that far away. But I don't care too much because I really like the shot. Good luck.

That far away, it is not a toy. And where is the Big Boat to compare it to. Did not meet the challenge.

Is this a miniature?
08/05/2004 05:52:28 AM
I like the picture, but it doesn't cover the subject at all. If it's the distance that should make the boat look tiny, then it's still not a mimiature. If it's a toy boat, I cannot see that.

I'm giving you a 1. Because you were there, or are still there, and I am here. If we could sware on here i would.

Sure looks like a real boat to me. the trash in the water kills what is otherwise a nice shot.

great shot; but it looks like a REAL boat really far out on the water, not a miniature.

Can't make out if its a toy boat or a real one ?
give some reference frame
