    Beautiful! It may look as capture of colorful fall if you take a quick look. Yes just until you focus on the capture. Or was it your task to confuse a viewer? :))) lol

    Fabulous shot Dinghy. The DOF is perfect as is your composition. As for untouched; well you know how I feel about untouched. This image is very good but untouched means its not been fully realised. Untouched is unfinnished in my book. The one bit that is missing is ‘you’
    A little bit of artistic soul from yourself.
    Don’t get me wrong, the photograph as it stands is outstanding but its only the starting point.
    Its waiting to be completed & to do that it needs your very own unique touch.
    Right now Nikon has more to do with the quality of this shot than you do.
    Think of it like baking a cake. Go to Tesco buy a ready mixed cake in a box. Follow the instructions pop it in the oven & there’s your Tesco ready mixed cake ready to eat.
    But if you add your own wee twist such as a squeeze of lemon a little sprinkle of nuts & a light dusting of chocolate powder, its Dinghy’s cake not Tesco’s.
    Your missing from the shot, the Maggie factor!!
    Still popping this one into my Fav’s because its packed with quality!! XX

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    thanks robin I appreciate your thoughts… yes the title reflects what a lucky nikon shot it was… but I posted to show anyone else hovering on the edge of getting a dslr…. cheers my friend and thanks again
