Beautiful shot, Rick. Prefer the colour version by a fair amount. The boathouse seems to get lost in the folliage in b&w. It reminds me so much of boathouses up here in Canadian "cottage countries" of which I'm familiar - up in the Muskokas and Kawarthas (north of Toronto), in the Laurentians and Eastern Townships (around Montreal). I guess these things are ubiquitous around North America (at least the Northeast), but they're lovely, and this one is well-photographed. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
