Midsummer's Day

Great composition, great shot but I prefer to think of it as a crisp sunny winter’s day! Long live winter and a pox on summer! ;)

LOL!!! Tiffany! “a pox on summer”...why?

Thank you Akira:)

Great photo, however it looks a bit underexposed just a tad. Increase the brightness just a bit and it will be fantastic!

I’m not a huge fan of summer as well :) Put it this way, it’s easier to get warm by putting on more clothes. There’s a limit to what you can take off in the heat….

lol, I’m with Tiffany on this one!
Warm I can do, but stinking hot sweaty days I can do without! I love the shot btw :-)

Wow Mel! Makes me want to live there.

the bicycle is a great touch!

Great composition….great colours!

I’m not looking forward to hot summer days, but this image is great, easy on the eye, a place picture to be part of

Feel like I’m on holidays looking at this one. Nice work, Melody..

Looks like there’s not too many votes for Summer, but the shot itself is very tasty. Fabulous clarity in the bike, and although the shadow is sneaking away in the background, I caught it! Texture in the jetty is delicious, and the sky and triangle of water are both playing their part in this symphony.

Oh Melody! I sit in front of my laptop with a heater on “full” in the corner, a beanie atop my bald noggin looking akin to an eskimo and then i see this wonderful image! ahhhh, I feel warm already!! :D
Excellent Depth here as well as a pyramid of color seperation that is perfectly balanced (Mel spotted that too!). Brilliant!

Vote 1 hot sweaty summer days! Bring it on. An excellent shot Melody – I love the tiny lapping waves and the solitary bather.

Great timing Melody – we can all do with this kind of visual right about now… Yes, great image, it’s the wooden pier that gets me in, so typical and full of memories and the pure texture. Love your framing of this image with the inviting distance enhanced by the wispy clouds… Cool shot to say the least. Love it, and perfectly presented here!

Great shot and the colours are perfect! I want to go swimming…

such a refreshing perspective on natural and constructed elements…great work! Paul

nice. Just so nice. Refreshing nice

Beautiful Mel.

You know, this has always been one of my favourites…

Great composition….great colours!
Perfect

Composition, light, detail…Excellent

When I first looked at this photo I thought the sky and water were too dark, but the more I thought about it, if the sky and water was brighter, then you’re attention could be drawn away from the bicycle and the jetty. I like the composition of this. It tells a little story without really saying much. Good work.

beautiful shot. certainly has that summer feel !

Love it Melody !
