Taken through a glass window from the cottage where we are on holiday, 9:05pm 1600iso, 1/125th @ F4, GX-20 Sigma 100-300/F4 @ 300mm.

If I see him again is is worth going to 3200iso to get that extra stop of shutter speed, or would the additional noise kill it?

I also need to learn about his noise reduction malarky, what programs do other use to do this?

Thank you for your comment Niklas and for the information about the wind, its always nice to know why something happens.

I can see the similarities between my image and the paintings.

By coincidence driving to work this morning there was a piece on BBC Radio 4 saying that Danish people are the most contented people in Europe. link
Can you tell us the secret?

I agree the tones are quite painterly, and I will be printing it on an art paper which emphasises that effect.

Two reasons I cropped quite narrow:
1.) The rest of the sky at the top is quite plain and boring
2.) I wanted to give the impression of lots of open space for the yacht to sail into, a sense of emptiness. Hopefully it does that?

Not sure why the sea went this two tone colour, but I certainly think it helps give the image the dreamy look I was trying for.

My avatar is now me. Of all the shots taken in my 18 months of digital photography only 3 of them are me, and this is the best

Coincidentally all 3 were taken on camera club outings, in pubs, when I had sufficient to drink to lend somebody my camera to take a picture of me

When I'm next on a studio shoot I must get another photographer to take a decent picture of me.

I shall be reverting to my Lady In Red very quickly

My avatar is not me - I'm not quite as good looking plus I'm male , but it was my first picture to get a 1st place in a camera club competition, so it means a lot to me.

We have a lake near work, and this duck was quite inquisitive (I know (think!) its a juvenile greylag goose, but I call them all ducks as it reduces identification errors )

I think the lens or camera is front focussing a bit, I'll have to calibrate it.

Some good crops and lots of ideas, thanks guys and gals.

I think I am leaning towards Aiki's crop as it leaves in the 'steps' on the door, but makes the edges less distracting than in my initial crop.
