Very cool capture, colors... You can see that he is actually standing on two separate boats - and yet this is not directly shown... for this I like this image.

good balance between the colors and the man, it gives a sense of stability even if it is just balancing..... it is a nice shot

Hi Mark
I like this simple picture. Nice color and nice composition.
I have a picture in Tanzania with nearly the same idea.
Regards
Bertrand

Mark: Great shot! I like the composition and colors but it is the rope that ties them all together like a bright gift to the eyes!
Congrats!!!

Very well made composition. The colours are great and the picture is very sharp and detailed. Good work.

I like this choice of framing, very interesting.
Great work.

HI Mark, I've been meaning to write something at your pictures for quite a while, because I think you have a special eye for nice and unusual compositions, and on the tech side, your pictures are really impeccable.
The diagonal rope is a very strong adition in the picture. Beautiful feet, I'm a 'hand-lover', but feet are also nice, certainly when the rest of the body is not visible.
I suddenly see, it's the Dutch flag!

Hello Mark,

Just discovered this picture: I find it a perfect example of what " THE EYE " means in photography. Very well seen and composed and it does not look at all as if you cropped it afterwards. Excellent really ! - Izzet Keribar

Nice image Mark. A little different but very effective composition. Very good use of the fields of colours and lines. Great work.
Take care, Jessica

Good colours combination. It's look quite artistic and good composition too.

Yee :)

Nice tight shot, contrast of colours are worked very well as well. All a good use of thirds and strong lines across the shot. Well done!!!

Great image, love the strong and clear colours in this image as well as the lines going across.

A detail in life, but a nice detail.
The different lines of color, with only the rope and the legs breaking the uniformity are really great. I would have liked a little more blue to balance the red.

Hi Mark, What a simiple and efficient image. As Paolo puts it, 'like a flag'. Strong, fresh, so liveely, so real. Excellent. The rope on the left balances the composition beautifully. You're doing great stuff! Cheers, --amz

A fine colorcombination and a well seen detail of a bigger scene. The picture leaves the story of the rope untold, some might argue that it is a distraction but for me it is a positive thing as it awakens my curiousity.

fabulous contrast and feet view.
