Great image!  I can hear the water lapping on the shore.  Well captured!

Smashing Angie - love the tone and the cloud formation!!

very good photo wish i was there

How can such a calm and peaceful view have so much detail to look at!? This is a beautiful image Angie, I really like the colours and the composition especially the birds and the surface of the water. Just gorgeous.

An incredibly relaxing image with such a softness to it. I especially like how you managed to capture the birds in flight. A very well balanced shot with a great perspective.BOL Angie.

Nice tranquil shot Angie, bol.

Hi Angie

I reckon this is probably one of the best shots I've seen so far!!

Absolutely Brilliant....Well done and good luck!!

great photo Angie. colour tones of the clouds are fantastic. nice detail of the boat and reflections too. lovely soft waves .love the seagulls .the photo gives a very relaxing atmosfear.

the wood going across the walkway distracts me a little in my view.but you did not put that thee obviously and other will think different .

nevertheless fantastic image all round .and very well taken .

beautiful

Great shot on theme what a shame with the wood across the walkway distracts like James said and it may have been better if cropped off the right and a little off the left to have the wood as say, more of a frame but that's just my view, nevertheless this doesn't distract from this being a fabulous image well done...

Good luck Angie......

A good pic but I reckon it could've been better if you had seperated the bar they are sitting on from the horizon/background. If it was just a few inches above the top of the sail it would be perfect.

Good luck.

Thank you for your comments.  I like the lighting in your image - it is very calming.  As a few other people have mentioned the bar in the foreground detracts from the overall composition.  Well done and good luck.

Yes, it is a shame about the bar, but what else could you have done, other than take a chain saw to it! It's also busy, but great colours, great interest, great sharpness of detail and fabulous light. Great shot Angie and still worth a four.

This is a lovely calm scene, I love the soft tones.  Good angle and use of perspective. Well done and BOL.

A lovely image with great colours, i like the way the jetty leads you into the heart of the frame and the boat.

It's all been said already. Simply beautiful. BOL Angie.

This is a great shot, BOL,

It's like a picture i would imagine !!!!!

It's great !!

Super shot and drawn particularly to the light conditions. Very well done

Very nice Angie! A lovely scene and If I may say difficult to know where to take the shot from to keep the boat central to the walkway!

You have done really well to catch the light on the birds and railings etc and it draws you to the background.

Thanks for your kind comment on my effort,it was from the same batch as the three swans !they all look very much the same colour wise

Great shot Angie I also think the bar gets in the way a bit.

Thanks for your comments also

Lovely image Angie, has  a real tranquil feel to it and the birds just add the finishing touch.

Brilliant Absolutely Brilliant! Best of Luck! Thanks for your Comment!

Beautiful colours in this shot Angie,well done & best of luck.

Thanks for taking time to comment on mine.

Beautiful shot and i love the birds, but shame about the wood obstucting the horizon.

Thanks a lot for the comment and good luck with the competition.

Near perfect...oh dear, you may prove Maureen right!  One tiny cc, if I may, just to show I am not besotted, the horizon is a tiny bit obscured by the cross beam on the jetty.  It irritates me rather than distracts. Good harmonious tones however and the eye is led into the distance, it smacks of a golden evening.
