  1. i love the contrast between the waves on the ground and the lines of the horizon and the fence! that’s a nice composition!

  2. lovely shot! i like the lines! :)

  3. Love the composition and the mix of lines…

    Peaceful;)

  4. I really like the graphic feel of this image – and who hasn’t watched passing ships sail by, and wished they were on them!

  5. wonderful in its totality i like great sense og freedom inside it and equilibrium between delicacy and power!!! really nice work Martina

  6. j’aime la pureté de cette image !

  7. Mir wird ganz schwummrig, wenn ich das Bild betrachte. Der Horizont kippt nach links, das Geländer nach rechts. Verwirrende Bildwirkung.

  8. What a serene image this is, Martina. Love the composition and the solitary figure. All the best from Vancouver, where I’m writing this tonight…

  9. I can’t deny the pull of the promise of freedom and adventure a boat brings…but in this case I might ask for a bit larger boat! ;-) Lovely image which thanks to your composition skills tells a story…

  10. jolie scène, bien composée.
