Photographer's Note
Saratoga is a suburb near Gosford on the Central Coast of New South Wales. I was lead to this place by a very helpful police officer, who was also a photography enthusiast.

Ciao Lisa,
A very atmospheric image with these dark blue tones and glassy watery surface and one well suited to the vertical format. The white boat in the foreground is well placed and makes an excellent focal point. Perfect light management and superb clarity.

Howdy Saratogalisa,
Your moody deep blues of darkness in the wetlands is enhanced by the contrasting white boat.
The area reminds me of our Florida Everglades.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,

Ciao LIsa,
Wonderful colors and contrasts. Is this low tide, that the boat is just above the water line, but tipping over gently. I will try to find the area on Google Earth.
Warm regards from Virginia,

Hi Lisa
Hmmmm...is there MORE to this story with you and the poilce officer? Tell tell mon ami
And you know i'm a sucker for anything in blue, with me being Blue Steel and all
And anything with a rusted old rowboat instantly adds charm and invokes imagery of stories out in the sea.
Perhaps the owner couldnt swim and he's at the bottom of the sea lol
But lets think happy thoughts
Sweet photo for its charm and atmosphere.
Easy to like.
See you around

Ciao cara Lisa. You went there with Police officer?? It happens that policeman can be photography enthusiast, we know one from Rome :). Nice photo in blue. It seems that the boat lies on the ice. Beautiful reflections.

Hi Lisa,
That little boat makes an excellent main focal point. Shallow water catches attention and so do those trees growing out of water. Blue hour light gives calm atmosphere. This looks somewhat oversharpened, your uploads usually aren't.
(Did you see my Dalek shot?)

Hello Lisa,
A very moody shot, almost connecting with the music 'Blues' which seem to follow a similar trait.
I just love how the shallow water is repeating and emphasising the solitary boat.
The limited colour palette adds so much to the mood that has been created.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Lisa
I like the calmness of this photograph, and the unusual choice of vertical format for a composition of this type. A late evening shot I guess. I remember Gosford well: took the kids to the reptile park, and often visited friends in Umina Beach.
Regards
Will

Lovely blue shades of nature.
the boat, anchored on shallow waters creates a lovely reflection along with the ropes, as if connecting it to something beyond the photograph.
The dark background with a thin line of trees jutting into the water and the still blue beyond it - has been a fascinating capture. Wonderful perspective and composition.
Thanks for sharing, Lisa

Hi Lisa
Love this low light shot as this just exudes the moody blue atmosphere with awesome light effect. The boat's position is spot on and balances the compo nicely, directing the eye through the pic and touch of warm tone sets the scene as an added bonus. Great work, Congrats.
Best regards

Ciao cara Lisa,
How delightful - being led to this lovely blue scene at the blue hour by a friendly and helpful boy in blue! But clearly this wasn't one of your blue days if you came away with a beautiful photograph like this!
This is a beautifully calming and restful image and I suspect it was also a very calm day because there's no sign of movement in that foreground boat and I imagine this was taken on a pretty slow shutter (careful!) speed too.
A beautiful composition with lovely soft light and fine colours, The reflections on the calm water are divine and the white boat is perfectly placed as are its tethering ropes. An interesting sky too.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.

Hello Lisa,
Your helpful police officer certainly knew where to take you. The blue sheen on the water and the lovely textures in the sky make a superb BG for this small boat with its peeling paint. The tilt of the boat and the reflection revealing its bottom are superb. Altogether another super image from you.
Warm Regards, Ann

Hello dear Lisa,
a beautiful picture with a great title. I remember the story with the helpful policeman, it's great you were at this lovely, peaceful place in the blue hour that you have the skill to handle so well. You brought out the colours and the atmosphere, the fine sheen and movement of the water, the character of the solitary boat that stands out but certainly belongs there. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Ciao Lisuccia
ricordo la scena del poliziotto, fu molto gentile e tu molto brava a fare questa foto.
Bellissima la scelta del taglio verticale e perfetta la presenza della barca con il suo riflesso.
Saluti
