A beautiful morning




The lovely old town of Rovinj in Croatia. Can't decide if I prefer portrait (all of the reflection) or the landscape (more of the town itself). Like the fact that the moon is still in the shot though. Was taken a couple of summers ago in the early morning before the regular daytime winds.

Both shots
Camera: Canon 20D
Lens: Canon 10-22mm @ 22mm
ISO 100, f4.5, 1/400
Adjustments to levels and contrast made in photoshop

    Purely as a photo I prefer the first one but if I had been there I'd probably prefer the second as reminding of the wider scene.

    I think I prefer the landscape. The white boat to the left and the reflection of the mast in the water adds something. There is a balance in the reflections in that pictures and also somehow between the mast and the moon.

    Can't decide - it looks a beautiful place though. Hope you had time to look around those old streets.

    I like both of these shots, but I think I prefer the portrait also. The darkness at the bottom of the photo and the deep blue call to me.

    I found your blog today following a link on Soaring Through the World in Pictures. I will be checking back often. Your photography is gorgeous!

    Fortunately we don't have to take a decision because you've shown us them both. However if I did have to choose it'd be the landscape one because it gives just that little bit more local information.

    the composition in the first is far more satisfying to me a grand shot.

    Thanks for the input and nice comments every one. Think for me I agree with Scriptor and Adrian. As an image the portrait works better.

    Tiffany, thanks for your lovely comments and Jenny, yes I did manage to get round the old streets. Spent quite a lot of time there in the last few years. Lovely little bar just under the church where you can watch the sunset from. Bliss.

    I was in Croatia too. Korcula to be exact, and the old towns do look alike.
