hey! Great job here. I love this idea and your composition and such is so nice

Really nice. Good idea. Might not want the peels laying there, though - just the regular oranges and the peeled one. Just an idea. GL

Nice. Couldn't do that with the new coins though.

Whys that?

Because a lot of the new coins (like the nickel) don't have them in profile. They are looking right at you

very creative and well thought out nice reflections. great job

goood choice

great fine, and nice composition too

Very nice!

Nice... almost looks like there's a fish-eye effect. Or is that my old eyes?

the highlights are too blown, hard to see that it's a boat.

I agree with Friiskiwi, but it's a cute idea

That's what happens when you done meter the highlight. But to be fair, metering the "swan" would make the interior of the boats too dark?

funny

nice idea..and i do agree.. the main subject is a blown out.. there are ways to correct it in camera, like changing the exposure compensation in a drop down menu. bracketing the shot, using a fill flash for the regular boats, waiting for an overcast day,or differnt part of the day (early am later pm)....and i'm sure there is others... overall it is a great concept and pretty funny... thanks for sharing the photo

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I agree...it is blown out. I knew I had the photo and it fit the contest, so I submitted it. I'd love to go back and take a little more time with this subject.

Funny, good photo
