A study of contrasts

I really liked the contrasts between the dark boat in the light frame vs. the light clouds in the dark frame. I thought they balanced each other nicely.

D2X w/ 35-70 @ 35mm
.6 sec. @ f/11 - mirror up and mc-30 remote release
100 ISO
No filters
Tripod
C1 LE RAW Conversion, PSCS2, Marc's sharpening

Please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

A classic beauty -- looks like an old view on Cape Cod. Very nice!

Bill,

I really like this composition. Looks great in BW. Nice reflections too.

The symmetry is what first catches my eye and makes it a great composition, but it's more than that. the subtle tones and graduations are very nice as well.
