Billyspad Loc: The Philippines

When the weather is fine then you know it's a sign
For messing about on the river.
If you take my advice there's nothing so nice
As messing about on the river.

For your Consideration

A feeling of calm as I look….good job of keeping the color tame and natural.

It's a great shot, but I'd love to see one with more context.

I agree about wanting to see more context. For me, a close-up would be more effective if a study of shapes and light.

For this one as-is, I don't see much of a story that holds my interest. For example, it looks like there could be beautiful patterns on the water to lead us to the boats, or reflections of their sleek design. I also have no context as to their size.

Hi, billy,
This is an interesting image that perhaps could have been more so...
It appears that at least six identical vessels were moored with their prow lines pulled sufficiently close such that the sterns are fanned out. A more wide-angle view could have more effectively displayed that potentially interesting effect.
Could a higher camera position have provided a stronger perspective on that arrangement of the boats...or would a wider angle view at the same level have been more advantageous?

Perhaps this image is, in fact, the best result possible from having "worked the scene". If so, I agree with R.G. that it's a good image, but also that "more context", if possible, would likely have improved it.
