Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
This is very good camera work, Bron. I can "feel" the image; it's a real-life situation along most all coastal areas.

Johnny Soedomo from United States
nice shot... lots of waves and looks like going to rain.. i wonder why there is people still in the boat :)

@Johnny Soedomo: Thanks Johnny. I'm not sure why they left it so late to leave - they seemed to be strong rowers - certain of their abilities and enjoying the ride!
@Rebecca: Thanks Rebecca - most kind of you! :)
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
The ominous sky, the deep green of the waves, and the boat off in the distance all tell a wonderful story!! Love the image Bron.

Markus from Reading, United Kingdom
Very captivating! Gives you feel to be there and going through the emotions like "Can we make it before the storm arrives?"

@Markus: I agree - it was intriguing to watch them from the shore as the light slipped away! Thanks as always for your encouragement.
wolf from Brussels, Belgium
great shot, this picture makes me very, very homesick... (I'm originally from Glenelg, Adelaide)

@wolf: Hi wolf! Yes there's something evocative about seeing one's homeland from far away! My aunt lives at Grange. I think the light on the Adelaide beaches has a certain unique softness- I didn't notice until I looked at photos after I came home. Drop by sometimes - I might post some (unless it's too painful for you...) cheers Bron
@LuisRodrigues: Thanks so much Luis! Kind of you to visit!
Anna-Liisa Prangli from Tallinn, Estonia

'Our' camera does it again! Excellent tonal range throughout. Well done.

@Sash: Ah yes it's a fine camera - very enjoyable and reasonably light to carry - less need for tripod etc to get good range of focal lengths without wobble :)! Thanks for your encouraging words!
@Lorraine: You're very kind Lorraine!
@Pedram: Thanks Pedram - it had a dramatic feeling when I took it!
