Super composition. One's eyes are drawn naturally to the house. Looks like a wonderful place to live!

Nice composition. Might have tried to get more of the human form in to give greater scale but this does not spoil a great photo.

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Quite a difficult shot with so many reflections, Alun. Did you use a polarizing filter?
15 Jun 2008 9:44am
@António Pires: Thank ou very much Antonio, No polarizing filter just a gradual neutral gray G2 filter.

This is so great, the mud leading the eye to the two houses in that aetherical light which is so typical for marine areas. I hope the houses aren't threatened by the sea.

Beautiful scene, Alun. I can just imagine sitting on that shore in a chair with a fishing pole and an ice chest full of brown ale and cheeses...

@Eric Fry: That sounds great

Stéphane from Near to BXL, Belgium
Beautiful place. Nice picture. May be it was indeed the perfect place to try a polarizer filter. But I can not really judge, as the only filter I have, until now, is an UV filter.
15 Jun 2008 5:33pm
@Stéphane: I had used a polarizer on it, but when you use a polarizer the camera on a very bright day will have trouble getting a good reading, so if you use a grad it levels this out

This is a stunning compsition Alun. What a beautiful place!

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Great composition Alun. The clouds and water are just stunning, but still the two houses stand out and capture your attention. Not a bad place to be.

@Marion: Thank you Marion
@Graham Russon: Thanks very much for your comments

Great landscape/seascape, I like the low angle you have chosen.

Thanks for your reply about the polarized filters. I did not know that point.

@Stéphane: Thank you Stephane
lisa v from Gawler, Australia
Great photo, very nicely done. Looks cold to me even though the sun is shining, perhaps it's the lack of sand, or maybe it's just because I'm australian. The houses look very substantial though.

@lisa v: Thank you Lisa, It was warm but the wind was cold.
