Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
A wonderful shot, Lorraine - a twilight image in B&W.
Now I'm wondering how it looked in color - were the sail covers royal blue? Red? Black? ;D
28 Jul 2008 12:33pm
@Judy: lol I wanted to suprise you by sending you the coloured version, but since it's a photo I transferred from my main computer, it doesn't show the past actions taken on it, but I know it was very colourful...thanks so much :)
Carlos Palma from San Juan, Philippines
Yeah interesting take! Would love to see some colors! But this is beautiful!

Salut Lorraine !
Toujours active, ça fait plaisir à voir.
Ce N&B est tout simplement magnifique.

28 Jul 2008 1:32pm
@tyan: Well that's it sweetie you must go on holidays, now...first a weekend alone, in a Spa place where they'll treat you and pamper you little the beautiful little princess that you are, then at least three days with a friend for a big shopping spree, only girls allowed, and than a week with your husband, served by a discrete person....all expenses paid by the Universe, 'cause they know a good mom when they see one ;) AND thank you ;)

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Most inspiring composition! Well, you see, it is not my fault that....just looking at your shots.....the poetry is born in my mind: "In the twilight of my days, I'll see the sun barely shining and feel the cold in my bones."
Maybe the lucious water and the reflection of the masts in it contribute to a little feeling of sadness.
31 Jul 2008 12:10pm
@Japanalia: I don't think there can be a nicer compliment than being told you (or your creation or photo) inspired a poem, thank you Gabriela, you are such a wonderful lady :)
@Vincenz: Thanks very much Vincenz, I appreciate the visit ;)
