Hi all,

Saw some paddleboats in the Emerald Lake Park last week when we were having great weather. Took a few shots, would love to hear comments.

#2 has far more going for it as you can see in detail the boats whereas #1 is more of a landscape with some small boats thrown in.

that #2 is stronger.

If you subject is the boat then it would benefit if it's represented larger on the frame. Also try and reduce distractions like the bit of shrubs on the front of the frame.

Because it's a mundane scene, you need to work harder to provide a dramatic perspective, light, colour or humour. Tough subject to photograph IMO.

Perhaps try BW for a timeless sort of effect.

Thanks for the comments, very interesting for me to learn.
