picture faids to much into the frame, try a thiner black frame ? other than that v nice

Its fine as it is. Very good, very atmospheric, connotes to me a misty morning on a very large cold lake in some highlands or similar.
Love the effect of the reflection. PP if any (or not) makes it look like a painting. Well captured.
Title needs working on though

Lovely shot. The reflections and the slight fade into the mist really add to it. Nice work

You are right. Should I start a find me a title thread?

I don't like the frame, but other than that - nice capture

Id call it AVALON, but a lot of people wouldnt understand it. Il try to think of another name.

Lovely shot, I'd change the frame though

I like it. I also quite like the border, although id make the sides the same width as the top.

A vote for "life is but a dream" here.

Stunning photo.

It was taken just before sunrise on a cold misty morning at Knapps Loch. Very minimal PP required. I desaturated the boats and removed a partial reflection of a tree on the bottom right of the frame and that was it.

Still really learning what works with borders as I usually just do a 10 pixel black border on all my web images. I have just began to realise that the border can help some pictures come to life as some forums default background colours can be too dark.

Keep the ideas coming for the title though, as I have always been crap at getting something that fits well with the picture...

Just had an idea :eek:

for the title.....how about 'Tranquility'?

Bit cliche to be honest. It sounds like one of those 'power posters' that you used to get around boring offices in the 90's.

I like 'power posters' :eek:

Back to the drawing board then...

Strax · 12 Nov 2007 at 19:02

A change of title and squaring up of the picture. Hopefully thats better.

No power posters anymore, just a touch of the Gaelic

I like how the photo fades into the frame. That would make a fantastic greetings card.
