Looks like paradise to me. Great sky, with the cloud on the right and its reflection balancing the composition. The blooming trees with their red flowers are great, so are the palm trees sticking out. Posted: 07/11/2024 14:09:34

I'm so impressed with the peaceful scene. Beautiful clouds and color in the trees! And you were able to keep the focus from a moving speedboat-handheld! Whew! Nice job. Just curious about why you used pattern metering? Posted: 07/11/2024 16:58:07
Thank you. I chose pattern metering because the lighting in the scene has different levels of brightness, contrast, and color, and I wanted to get the best exposure. Posted: 07/11/2024 22:05:52
Very well-done! I like the sense of movement in the water and in the sky while the land is perfectly sharp and still. Posted: 07/12/2024 07:41:35

Nice peaceful image and handheld to boot is amazing. Nice still waters. Would prefer that you had made your composition had made the hut more to the left or to the right, just not so centered. Posted: 07/21/2024 19:34:24
Thank you for your suggestion.
