Fishing boats at dawn

Nice shots Grahame, I prefer #1, although the derelict boats have a story, I think your rugged background has a mystic like story too.

Thanks Gerry,

I like both of them Grahame,different impacts with different lights.

Thank you Binnur, yes lighting can change the impact tremendously.

Very nice and beautifully sharp images as always.

The first is my favourite for the beautiful soft colours and the way the mountains are arranged in partial silhouette, and for the pink sky and the reflection of the colour on the water.

Christina, that pink sky was only apparent for a very short time so at least I now know to be ready and prepared for it. With regard to the sharpness when I first looked at the RAW files I was a bit disappointed with them although I had done everything possible for a sharp capture but once worked using my standard CSM sharpening procedure I was happy.

Hi Grahame,

Pink skies are but a fleeting moment... And for some reason in my images the pink never quite looks quite the same as in real life. I hope you choose to share more of these.

Thank you for sharing.

very well executed shots Grahame, each imparts two different emotions..shot #1 gives me that "sinking" feeling, a melancholy or sadness..(that's what i feel seeing a derelict boat add to that that tone of your sky) shot #2 with its sunshine, suggest a buoyant spirit of a new day..keep shootin' Grahame and inspire others

I tried to pull out some detail in the farthest layer but failed.

To the contrary, the haze is preventing you from obtaining detail because the haze obscures the detail that otherwise would have been in your capture. This is one of the few situations in which haze actually works to our advantage. If all three layers had displayed the same amount of detail, I don't think the three layers would have been apparent; instead, there would have been three mountain ridges displayed at the same level of detail, which is not necessarily better.
