O Row You Didn't

Nice shot, fave

I love all the colorful boats! What a beautiful capture! l/f

Great shot, and a hilarious title! L/F

Congratulations on your feature in "Images That Excite You!"

This image is so much fun to look at Emmy. I would agree with the cropping suggestions below as well from members of the Photography only group. Take the viewer right in to the boats and discard the background.

i agree with kathi about taking out the water and the motors. but i love the picture!!

Well I have to say that this photograph is very beautiful ... like a lot of makeup done with boats .. got very good job Original

Hi everyone from the Photography Only group administered by R. John Ferguson. Thank you all for your wonderful compliments, comments, and recommendations for changes. I will be responding to each of you that left a comment. So if you have noticed I made a few changes to this particular photo scene based on some of your comments. I decided to keep the motors in on this version based on a couple of comments. However, I am adding 2 or 3 additional versions of this photo scene based on all your wonderful recommendations. Once I have completed the changes I will post a thank you on the discussion thread and share the links. Please feel free to comment on each new version to let me know if I was on the right track. Thank you all for expanding my horizons on how to better this photo in hopes for lots of sales. This group ROCKS!! I am having fun returning the favor.

Very cool colors and rhythm with the repetitive patterns, I think I agree with Timothy that cropping the motors out unless you tried it and didn't like it. Perhaps punching up the contrast a bit would be great, otherwise, awesome fun composition Emmy! Hope this helps! fl

I love the bright, clear colors. And boats, ahh, they remind me of New England, Maine especially. I used to live in New Hampshire and we visited Maine frequently. When I see art like this, it makes me realize just how much I miss it. I love this.

Great eye for opportunity! The colors are friendly and bright, the composition of shadows and ligh tplay are interesting. Maybe try punching up the vibrancy just a tad... and the contrast a bit too.. just to bring out the tips of the boats in 3D. Fantastic shot!

I like how the boats are symbolic of a pile of fish. Anytime I'm in a boat I would be fishing so this picture speaks to me that way. I can see this in a boys room or at a summer camp. It is hard to tell if the water behind would have been pretty enough to add a bit more of in the picture to add some interest as if the boats are yearning to get in the water. Good job!

Great find - a fun and interesting way to show this pile of boats. The colours and different angles - add interest - and the motors tell a funny story - like they are all on a barge being pushed by 3-4 motors. Excellent work Emmy:)

PS Irony can be a good thing!

I think it is ironic that outboard engines show in this paddle-power picture! :)

Interesting shapes, sizes and vibrant colours Emmy. I like it how they are all stacked up side down.

In other words don't change it. I like it the way it is.

This photo screams "summer camp." I like the fill the frame composition, the color juxtapositions and the well used look of the canoes and kayaks. It would be great in a den or rec room as a large print.

Certainly one alternative crop could eliminate the water and motors but I personally like it the way it is. The only thing I might have done is punch the vibrancy and or saturation a bit and increase the contrast a tad. I would have to see how the photo looked after sliding the shadows slider a bit to the right in Lightroom but I don't see a problem with deeper shadows. I like it!! Tim

Fantastic composition and pov!

Well I didn't even notice the motors until I read other comments, just seen the colors and the fun I could have on one of these :). Great find. v/t

Great find and capture! Love the uniqueness of everyday items!

Reminds me of the way seals bunch up on top of each other. :) Good suggestions below; I favor cropping rather than cloning. Could be sharpned a bit, too. l/twt
