Re: Contest 207: Messing about in boats
Yes, of course, that's true. But a boat, now, that's a moving object: and you need to show either where it's going, or where it's come from. Simply showing where it is is neither one nor the other. |

Thanks Steve. Actually, it's not the boat that's crooked, it's the car... I think it was shot with a wide angle lens and I had to adjust the perspective of the boat, thus the discrepency in perspective... I think! _________________ |

Thanks Steve. Yep the shadow didn't work out too well - at least you didn't notice it was going the wrong way ......oops! Shouldn't have mentioned that! Congratulations Brian but I'm not too sure I would enjoy my whisky with something like THAT floating in it. |

Re: Contest 207: Messing about in boats
mguyer: The bronco picture is an excellent example of going somewhere. My little boat ended up smack in the middle, but I thought the dead alligator would draw the eye. I might shorten the rope and move the boat right. The gator image is from the Florida Museum of Natural History. _________________ "Do what you can to make the world more colorful" - Hugh Sacher-Asian |

Thanks as always Steve for your comments. I was guessing that the boat is flat bottomed so it could be in the shallows. Katew- just what are those globe things? |

Thanks for the comments, I'll try to keep the 1/3rd it in mind next time. Also liked the new reflection by Hope Leslie Laust. |

Thanks for your comment as always! Yes, it must be salted corals. Hard to find even here, most tins seem to contain miniature Sicilian ladies. I'm faszinated by the fish packaging (acciughe are sardines) here - it rarely shows the product, but works well on the imagination.  |

Ellen, I haven't a clue - I just found them on a google search but I can't even remember what I was searching for! |
