Paddling surfers under crepuscular rays
It has lot's of educational value: w:crepuscular rays; paddling just to name two. And what about the dogs behavior, who are standing still at surfboards? And what about reefs seen in the ocean, and what about w:sun glitter?--Mbz1 (talk) 03:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Now it's a background of my desktop :) Thanks! -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 06:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very nice, like painting. Strong support -- George Chernilevsky talk 08:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support . . . nice pic, but needs more info: I'll add the extra brackets for support with this extra info: (1) location, (2) date, (3) a bit more clarification of what "manually done panorama" means. If available, some info on why the people were taking their dogs out on surfboards would also be of interest (and may greatly enhance the educational value) - are they working dogs, e.g. being used to sniff out shellfish for harvest, or just dogs out playing with their owners? - MPF (talk) 12:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The date and location is added."Manually done panorama" means that I was not able to stitch a few image using a program, and done it manually instead. I know nothing about the people on surfboards,except that the owner of the restaurant I took the picture from, told me, it was the very first time they paddled so close to the shore in this place. The tide,and the ocean conditions were just right for them to paddle there, and then they got behind the reefs, and were gone, except one of them caught a small wave, when he passed the reefs. They were two boys and one girl. --Mbz1 (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I don't know how the merging process was done, but it seems that something went wrong. The line of the horizon is too sharp. Looks like the background is fake. Sorry. --Lošmi (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, as I explained I added the images together in photo shop manually, but I am not sure what you mean under fake, but anyway...--Mbz1 (talk) 19:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I meant that it looked like the sea is just cut and pasted on the sky. It's much better now. --Lošmi (talk) 01:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I tried to fix it. Does it look natural now? --Mbz1 (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Better now. Jonathunder (talk) 22:42, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
