"Lovely colors and use of shadow!"

"Lovely colors and use of shadow!"

"Correct. While the compact camera I use (Canon S90) is capable of it I seldom remember to shoot raw. I still have one foot deep in the point-and-shoot world."

"If that was a RAW shot you could dig up a lot more shadow detail... but it was jpeg, right?"

"Yes, nice pic."

"Thanks. I wanted both the boat and the shed (and their reflections) in the photo, took some time finding a good spot. The ideal spot was unavailable, should have moved the boat for that..."

"The almost black boat on the front is the key thing here. Without it it would be just boring and usual."

"The rocky hill bathing in evening Sun and mirrored image of it are perfect."

"Wow.. Very nice work. The water surface is just uneven enough to add flavor to the image, but still provides brilliant reflection."

"Thanks. I'd have preferred a little less light overall, my camera can't quite cope with the contrast here."

"Wow. Nice shot. I love the light and smoke here."

"Of course it is. Nice. My puppy's half Belgian half German. I'm hoping she comes out hairy like that one. Beautiful dog."

"The black one, yes."

"Woah! Is that a Belgian Shepherd?"

"Tää on niin hieno!"
