Awesome image. I love the stillness of the water and the movement of the rowers. Great work as always Sharon!

Awesome, beautiful, dreamlike capture. I love the figures in all their separate postures.

Love the feeling of quiet and stillness !!

I really like this shot, it looks like they're in the middle of nowhere, rowing, perhaps to another world.

Looks like an old souvenir: the Picture of the movie"Deliverance"by John Boorman...

Its mesmerizing!!! So calm and beautiful!

Like Africa... Where did you take this one ? So evocative of old films on african rivers, i even can hear the tam-tam playing... I just love the foggy mood and the boat gliding fast on the surface with that line over the water following them like an horizon.
(i would just have put the signature far from the boat, down in a corner not to pertubate the reading of this beauty, but of course that's just me ;)

@k@: Thanks so much Karine. This was taken along the seawall here in Vancouver, on a foggy day. I agree with you about the watermark, but I did that for theft purposes. It's easy to crop it out if it's at the bottom of the frame, but more difficult if it's near my subject :)
Evocative, dreams of past times. Excellent.
Warm greetings

Its like they are travelling in silence with no wish to be seen
16 Jun 2010 9:16am
Like something from a forgotten dream . . as if they are silently passing and soon to be gone. Total magic.

Très beau cliché, la composition est superbe !! Peace !

Beautiful composition and very nice processing. Love the soft tones.
16 Jun 2010 1:45pm
Fog really does make for wonderful shots. That is so cool.

I think these guys are in a time machine and we aren't really sure where they are in space or time. I guess they'll find out when they get to shore. ;-) A beautiful and timeless image, Sharon.

It reminds me of early morning crew practice on Lake Union on foggy mornings. Very nice.
16 Jun 2010 10:20pm
Love the simplicity of this image that creates such a fascinating mood composition. Excellent light, tones and contrasts.

Let's row in the fog... I love those boats : solidarity is ncessary to move forward and each meter asks much effort. A great metaphor. Love the tonal range here, so sweet.
17 Jun 2010 8:43am
What a lovely mood here... I feel like beeing in a foreign land, in the early XX century... an adventurer somehow... discovering a new place and their inhabitants... everything is quite, except the noisy forest around...
17 Jun 2010 9:01am
Like a haunting melody. Each one of those rowers a different note, together a beautiful composition.

19 Jun 2010 4:38pm
A very beautiful B&W . Nice prossecing ... it seems we see something in our dreams !
19 Jun 2010 7:56pm
i love this. it reminds me of something basic and essential- like prehistoric drawings on the wall of a cave. it is unadorned life at the roots. wonderful shot!
20 Jun 2010 3:38am
I love the wake, the haze, the movement, the title, the quote.... This is beautiful!

This is art --five stars from me. Hope all is well and my apologies for failing to come here often. I've missed out on so much.
22 Jun 2010 4:05am
I have always to come back to this wonderful image. It looks like a voyage into subconscious. And every part of the crew follows his own rhythm.
22 Jun 2010 2:22pm
Such a serene setting for these people to be working so hard at their rowing!
25 Jun 2010 5:03am
oh LOVE this! the contrast between the bent and working figures and then the mist. it's amazing.
