Two men in a boat

By far, the best picture i have taken and it has been rated such by a lot of the visitors here.

Sunrise at Lady Ann Lake

this was clicked a few months ago. I had gone to the lake to shoot the sunrise. While at the lake, I met two elderly gentlemen who were getting their boat into the lake for a fishing expedition. Glen and Charles were kind enough to manoever the the boat closer for a decent shot ... actually I managed to get several decent pictures, this being my favorite ...

Needless to say the title of this post was inspired by Jerome K. Jerome's THREE MEN IN A BOAT (TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG) - i would certainly encourage you to read it - check out chapter XVII - it was in my class X (or IX) english textbook!

Added this to the 'DeleteMe' pool - will see how badly it can get bashed :) [it made it through ... and is now in 'THE SAFE' pool!! :)

this is nice. i think if you cloned out some of the crap floating on the lake it would be even better

I for one think it is a great shot. I have found early morning shots rarely fail to be impressive.

sweet. who would have thought that 2 guys in a boat would save a 'sunrise over water with reflections' shot?

Warm colours. Sharp silhouettes: boat, men, caps, fishing lines, treeline, reflections. Says things: friendship, quality time, silence, peace, etc etc

powerbook.blog says:

Very neat shot and it will probably make it into the safe right next to me deleteme.

As this is a sunset/sunset-shot, it has to be perfect to get into the safe. Looking at the large, I am wondering, if the 'blur' around the guys is just made by the jpeg-compression or the whole shot is rather blurry. And then there is this white spot on the upper right side of the rising sun, that might not belong there.

But this is indeed a very nice capture!

i think it's really conventional, kind of gettyimages feel. not interesting to me.

badly composed too imo, although it's one of the better pictures i've voted deleteme to. i want more of the water-the eye is drawn down too much.

Good example of making usual boring stuff (like sunsets, landscapes) interesting in photo.

I like it.

Great shot. I like it a lot. I was at Lady Ann recently trying to get some sundown shots, but I missed the window. I'm going to go back and try again.

I have to fave it too.
It's beautiful.
And isn't it great to have cooperative strangers to help you get the perfect pic!!
If you're living near Edgewater, I suppose you're never lacking for some nice pics to take.
