		from bratman/Bratman (13,788) on July 23, 2006 6:55:45 PM CDT (1) Very good Eugenio. The band of light really gives this an extra element. Long crop suits the composition and space is used well. Best, Brat. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful

		from maxart/Max (79,748) on May 8, 2004 7:19:00 PM CDT (4) I've had a look at both versions, this one I like better, the panoramic feel gives a sence of traveling into the unknown, far far away, it's a great looking image and it feeds the imagination. Lovely work! ;o)-max- Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful

		from ehretsmann/Christel (20,726) on May 3, 2004 4:05:27 AM CDT (11) here is a very interesting stylisised photo. I like the way the different scales or hues of colours make a very good background for the well contrasted boat ! : looking like a particular and original flag. very nice indeed Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from izz/Izz (32) on May 2, 2004 5:18:35 PM CDT (11) VERY nice image but really overcompressed ! I can see jpeg atrifact in the see and it really prevents me from getting the best of it ... could you PLEASE re-submit a less compressed version ? Reply  Show ratings  From yagoryo/Eugenio (14,335) on May 2, 2004 6:11:41 PM CDT Re-submit to less compressed version and with a small cut of 100 pixels on the width. The original one was of 5.5 Mb. Now it is of 338 Kb. This is of 87 Kb I don't see big differences, but I will probably have to buy me the glasses. : -) Reply		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from mtpsuper/Maria Teresa (40,699) on May 2, 2004 5:10:22 PM CDT (11) Interesting image, which has even something of "abstract" in its so essential composition, all based on play between lines and colours and reflections. The little coloured ripples on the water contribute to giving me this sensation. This shows your creativity. It's a fine thing. P.S. Did the ship come from Fraglia della Vela in Riva? ;-) Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from leoverhagen/Leo (12,362) on May 2, 2004 4:35:20 PM CDT (11) Very nice picture Eugenio. I like the composition with the beautifull sailingship on this perfect sea, very nice with that sunlight on the water. Colors and lightning looks also great. Well done!1 Greetz......Leo Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from nobalc/Claudio (83) on May 2, 2004 2:35:39 PM CDT (9) Nice one, Eugenio. I like the position of the shilouette of "Siora Veronica" throw the sun blade, but i would prefer more importance at this subject (...bigger). Neverthenless in this light condition is a great work.

		from andag1/Andrew (168,839) on May 2, 2004 1:09:47 PM CDT (15) Well I'm glad to see Luis and Michiel have come to an understanding. For the record I think they both had helpful information to offer. Oh yeah! Hi Eugenio, I like the way the sun cuts across the water in the distance here. An excellent bright line to break up this image. It makes all the difference as I try to visualize this without it. I'm not a "Fancy Man" and wouldn't know about compression from a bologna sandwich. This looks fine to me. Nice work, Eugenio! Reply  Show ratings  From mtpsuper/Maria Teresa (40,699) on May 2, 2004 5:12:28 PM CDT Andrew, God bless you! I'm really laughing!

		from blackcat/Luis (23,429) on May 2, 2004 11:19:13 AM CDT (16) To follow the light Through the Haze at Sea Eugenio, this is a fantastic take of Mountain and Sea side. One of the best I have seen. The light line created by the clouds on the Sea is a marvellous occurrence. The darkened Sailboat contrasts beautifully with the marine lighter tonal range. The Sun creates another shade of colour for the Sea dividing it in two. A Panoramic vision of very high quality. Fine Art it is this Acqua shot.

		from coutzy/Éoannis (79) on May 2, 2004 10:48:14 AM CDT Perfect composition-lighting-colours! When I grow up(photographically) I want to make photos like you! Reply
		from reaper/Michiel (1,501) on May 2, 2004 10:43:59 AM CDT (14) I really like this photo. The silhouette of the boat on an almost abstract background makes for a really interesting effect. The overexposure of the part of the water with the sun on it was probably hard to avoid, and eventhough it's a shame it doesn't do much harm to the photo. I do like the close to panoramic format you've chosen here. However, unfortunately your photo is badly overcompressed! I'm truely amazed that nobody else has noticed this yet. Look at the waves! Look at the shore! Look everywhere! I've checked, and the photo is only 88 kb in size. This is nowhere near PhotoSIG limits yet. My advise would be to locate the place in your photo editing software, where the compression factor is set for jpegs, and set it to 10%, maximum (note: this does not mean it will only compress 10% in file size!). Check if there's room to set it lower for this photo (your image size will grow as you set the factor lower) and if there is, use that room. This type of photo is sensitive to overcompressing, and the photo is absolutely worth it to be shown in the best possible quality. When you've made a new copy from the original that way (I do hope you have an uncompressed original?) then please, please resubmit. The photo itself is worth a 2 TU at least, the overcompression artifacts have brought that down to the 1 TU I'm giving now. Thanks for sharing and keep shooting, Michiel Reply  Show ratings  From blackcat/Luis (23,429) on May 2, 2004 11:25:10 AM CDT "even though it's a shame" ? "badly overcompressed!" ? Note: There is no shame in trying and in shooting. Disagree a 100%. Note:Michiel, you punished my disagreement of your critique with a Thumb Down but it didn't feel that you actually disagreed with my critique when you gave it a thumb down, was that an act of pure revenge?. Hope not. And could you actually say what in my critique you disagreed with as a matter of courtesy? Thanks. BC/Luis Reply  From reaper/Michiel (1,501) on May 2, 2004 12:18:11 PM CDT This SUCH BS!!! You're deliberately twisting my words into something bad! What are you trying to archieve here???? Reply  From blackcat/Luis (23,429) on May 2, 2004 12:25:17 PM CDT No need to overreact, nothing personal. This IS A Picture Perfect. Note: Everybody here knows that photos have to be 'COMPRESSED" to be able to fit the required K load according to the TOS. The compression here is excellent. BC/Luis Reply  From reaper/Michiel (1,501) on May 2, 2004 12:37:31 PM CDT Read the critique BC. And find out that this photo can be compressed in such a way that NO artifact will be visible. Only 88 of the 650(?) kb have been used as it is. That leaves room for MASSIVE improvement here. But you know that. Why do you claim that you think the compression is excellent here? You're not blind! Reply  From blackcat/Luis (23,429) on May 2, 2004 12:52:29 PM CDT You may be right Michiel, but the final word belongs to Eugenio, may be he compressed it from 2MB to 650k as you say and then went down to 89k. At which stage of the overall compression we have captured the photo does not mean that it went through several compressions Michiel, I personally have compressed photos from 4MB to 1MB and then, done further compressions, and its true I must admit, the further you compress the less pixels and resolutions you get. But if I look at this photo I am satisfied with the existing compression and quality which quality is optimal to that specific degree of compression. Of course, this photo would be awesome at 4MB or more. Its all a matter of choice and possibilities Michiel. Reply  From jklee/James (3,252) on May 2, 2004 3:47:55 PM CDT michiel, you confuse IMAGE SIZE with FILE SIZE. 360k is the limit for file size. Reply  From reaper/Michiel (1,501) on May 2, 2004 4:14:49 PM CDT I think you are right, James. Still, with a maximum of 360 kb my reasoning still stands. Thanks for the correction. Reply  From reaper/Michiel (1,501) on May 2, 2004 12:47:03 PM CDT Just for the record: everything from the second "note:" has been added after I reacted. So I'll react to that now: I was thinking of marking your critique down, because I think it's specifically unhelpful to ignore obvious chances for improvement. Then I started to doubt and removed it, because I thought it might be explained as an aggressive act to keep TD-ing critiques for that. And it seemed that I was right. Revenge even... but revenge for what BC? We had no quarrel before your strange reply to my critique. I think you're the one with feelings of revenge. Reply  From blackcat/Luis (23,429) on May 2, 2004 12:54:02 PM CDT Michiel, I removed mine too. Peace. It has been an interesting exchange. Thanks. Regards, BC/Luis Reply  From reaper/Michiel (1,501) on May 2, 2004 1:46:01 PM CDT Thanks BC, I appreciate that. Peace. Too much war in the world already as it is, right?

		from herbjort/Kjell (32,328) on May 2, 2004 7:04:47 AM CDT (11) Fine simple shot. I would prefer the stiloutte of a person standing on the boat. Interesting with the line of light. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from chungho/Ray (24,827) on May 2, 2004 6:06:41 AM CDT (12) This one is very nice. I like the feeling of this shot. Very comfortable. However, I recommend to crop the shot tighten, too many empty space at the right side. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from xelle57/Patri (1,042) on May 2, 2004 3:09:26 AM CDT (7) Good photo. Very nice the general graphic effect that he/she succeeds in valorizing, without making them intrusive, the two principal components of the photo (the light and the boat). Good work.

		from euzebius/Wiley (7,078) on May 2, 2004 1:58:43 AM CDT (10) Hi Eugenio, nice cropping. I like the composition of that photo. The boat is well pose in the location. Exposure and focus is fine. Just feel that the lighting at the upper of the sea is a bit flat. Still a good photo and thanks for sharing. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from swilcox/Steve (7,396) on May 1, 2004 6:35:10 PM CDT (10) Eugenio... This is good. The stark parallel lines are an effective backdrop for the rakish lines of the boat. Good contrast in color, lighting, and lines. I like it. Reply  Show ratings		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
		from gian87/Marta (59,446) on May 1, 2004 6:04:15 PM CDT (11) Strange and interesting picture Eugenio.I think that the photo is manipulated and the effect I like.I see so much the sky as the sea like a great abstract of the reality.And it is left the important detail of the boat almost like a silhouette.Linear, absolutely in contrasting horizontals and the so beautiful boat.Best regards,marta Reply  Show ratings  From yagoryo/Eugenio (14,335) on May 1, 2004 6:13:30 PM CDT Thanks Marta for the comment. I break down it it is not the sky but the mountains in shade. Reply  From gian87/Marta (59,446) on May 1, 2004 6:26:54 PM CDT The celestial superior part is the mountains? What pretty surprise! Reply  From yagoryo/Eugenio (14,335) on May 1, 2004 6:37:52 PM CDT Yes, the other side of the lake. In the haze. Reply		Rate this critique Helpful No opinion Unhelpful
