J'aime la composition, et ces tons magenta qui donnent vraiment une ambiance particulière. Bravo, Eric.

Merci Martine, j'apprécie beaucoup ton commentaire qui m'encourage. A Bientôt.

D'accord avec Martine. Belle ambiance.

belle composition, j'adore l'ambiance et la main avec la cigarette qui donne une direction oblique qui coupe l'image bien vu!!

Merci Philippe et Samuel pour vos encouragements ;)

I really like your perspective and vantage point. The softness of this photograph, so inviting.

Thank you very much to you all :)

wow. it looks like a painting. did you digitally produce this effect? amazing regardless...

Thank you Nathan :)
I have blurred a little the background.

Juicy greens! I like the dreamlike look.

Variation of a photograph already presented according to the idea of Didier ;)
Thank you for the preceding comments:)

I can't really see differences with the former version (which probably means that I was not disturbed with the dots).
In my opinion, the framing and colors are excellent, very well done Eric.

You know, this is striking, no matter which way you look at it. As a thumbnail it jumps out at you and as a larger version, draws you right in.
The colour is sublime!

Wow strong image! Excellent diagonal composition. That blue bites!

sometimes it about being in the right spot at the right time and you were there! Very cool shot!

Superb wide shot!

I was waiting for this to be featured in panorama as well. Should have been the first. Excellent shot.

Nice one. Did he pose for you? Or are you the beneficiary of a great seat?

Great seat =)

:-D
I would rather have placed it in "Funny"...
Good idea !

This is great!

I am glad you like liked it! Too bad the carnival fish didn't make it through the week!

I like this composition and the colors.
Some pros may say you could crop about 15 percent off the bottom.

Sorry Carl, but cropping off the bottom would put the horizon line right in the middle, which I think is not a good thing.. ?

I think that this photo needs to be as it is, with any kind of croping

perfect. as it is.

Thanks Beamer. I appreciate your input.

Good composition and post-processing.

The shadow across the lemon is not easy to appreciate and tends to distract. I'd disagree with Clyde about cropping and suggest including a bit more negative space in the foreground.

I love the feel of this image and the processing to get it there. I'd love to know how you did this as it's something I've been trying to do myself. Would you mind a bit of info?

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback on this one. Dana, this was quite easy actually - all I did was punch up the contrast pretty high and then increased the saturation. I also cropped the left side to really fill the frame - I didn't want any empty space on wither side of the image. Have a great weekend.

Thanks Bradford...simple technique indeed!

Love the vibrant sky. Really adds a feel to the whole image.

je suis d'accord, un peu moins de ciel pour mieux recentrer la photo sur les ombres (qui sont vraiment superbes).

Very beautiful shot, but I agree with Fedor about having a little more of the shore in the shot and just a tad bit less of the sky.

vraiment magnifique

This is another amazing photo, yet I do agree that crop down a bit less sky, and your eyes are drawn to the main topic, the boat and children.

Beautiful.

So quiet, so peaceful.. almost surreal ;-)
Very good work.

peaceful..

Excellent shot, nice processing... Congratulations.

It looks good to me. The processing is really nice. And the fact you can see the flies in the picture is actually quite amazing.

Yes, I agree that everything about this image feels "right". I too appreciate the sharpness you have achieved and the great tonal range to successfully pick out the subject. Well done.

this is amazing. i hope you weren't very close to him. :)

Great shot! I would be curious to see the color version...
