Out the Door L
First Test
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 4 May 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Oh and my darling visitors, bear with me, as I'm adding Firefox and trying to enhance my photos as well as just plain understand what the heck my computer think it's doing...apparently it doesn't enjoy my 20, 000 photos, go figure...Anyway, If I don't visit today, it's only because I'm 'In the Process' or lost my never have-had patience, and thrown, computer et al out of the window...See you tomorrow, gosh I hope ;)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
hope he doesn't fall overboard!! It's finally that time of the year to get those boats running and enjoy the Spring. Nice picture Lorraine.

@Marion: He didn't but I swear Marion, for a second there, I really expected him and the boat to take a dive, then it straightened and continued on...Half of me were hoping he didn't fall in lol
@isabel: Behind? lol indeed thanks alot Isabel :)
@Saeed: I appreciate it, thanks a lot Saeed ;)
Gary from Cochise County, United States
Hi Lorraine, How odd and so interesting. He looks so out of place they way he is dressed. Excellent eye.
4 May 2008 8:53am
@Gary: Thanks a lot Gary, I think he was an employee of the Marina, testing out some leftovers, very brave of him, for a bit I thought neither him or the boat would make it lol
@Saeed: Glad you enjoyed it Saeed, thanks a lot :)
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun :)

Love the colors in this shot, Lorraine. Did he ever leave the dock?
4 May 2008 11:24am
@Betty: It was touch and go there for a while, but eventually he ventured out without incident, sigh, really I'm very happy he didn't fall in the water lol ;)

Great reflections on the lake Lorraine - I hope you're winning with your PC. I like this image and as Gary mentioned his clothes seem rather out of place... :)

@Mandy: Yes finally I'm seeing some results, not perfect yet, but getting there ;)

@e.: WEll, my darling son as bought me a laptop, a new one I am soooo happy :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

4 May 2008 10:18pm
@Richard_Irwin: all kinds of opportunities are opening up I'm happy to say, thanks a lot Richard :)
@laughingwolf: What's wrong with other people's butt pictures? :)

Terrific composition and colors, Lorraine ... love the strong reflections!
4 May 2008 11:31pm

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Somehow the red and green makes the blue of the boat greater. Strange.
5 May 2008 4:16am
@Michael Rawluk: That is a strange yet interesting comment LOL thanks a lot Michael :)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Great action shot, Lorraine ... but what a shot it would have been if he had fallen in.
Did you get your Firefox straightened out? I've been using it for several years now and love it.
5 May 2008 10:59am
@Judy: snicker, giggle lol totally agree, but that water it's gotta be cold, so I'm glad he didn't...YES finally I'm making some headways...have a lot of comment to respond to now ;)
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
NICELY done!! The lake is so amazingly calm... The reflections are gorgeous and the "antics" of the boater make this such a great story image!
6 May 2008 1:49pm
@amy: I appreciate that Amy, thanks a lot :)
[terrorkitten] from Bath, United Kingdom
