A Foggy and Rainy Day

A good day to get a lot of work done. Beaver Island seems to be saying summer is ending as well...our poor little kayaks looked so lonely and forlorn without anyone taking them out or even walking by. Seemed to fit the 30 day selective color challenge.
Thank you for your wonderful response to my hay bale shots! I had waited so long to take them and so appreciated your positive comments.

[Hope D Jennings]

Awesome sc image.just awesome regardless!

[Brigette]

really captured the atmosphere here

[Junko Y]

Oh, how I wish I was there . . . I loved the foggy rainy days we had! Such a sense of atmosphere that you project here, and the pop of kayak colors speaks volumes. I know you are sad about your last days there, but I'm sure ready to have you back here!

[Lisa Villella]

Great SC shot! Strong image! Fav

[Tony]

Fabulous result from such a challenging situation.

[sally agnew]

[eDorre]

Fav the alone but not lonely feel. They have each other!

[Taffy]

@edorreandresen I just saw your comment and had to respond -- I just love how you worded this alone but not lonely idea. Thank you!

[eDorre]

My pleasure! It is another wonderful image!

[Peggy Scroggins]

Very nice selective colors

[Richard Hickey]

Stunning picture. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Kerri Michaels]

fav..nice!!!

[Keri]

Awesome shot. Love the water disappearing into the mist.

[Maggiemae]

Very photographic scene - much more moody like this. There should be more sun and laughter left in this season for you!

[Kane Arlow]

Great use of SC, it is unfortunate that Summer is ending for you, but good for us in the Southern Hemisphere, winter is nearly over :)

[Kathleen Hickey]

Beautiful! I can feel it.

[Eric di Bosco]

Really a great SC...the radical placement of the kayaks and the mist obscuring the horizon really adds to the feeling of space ad isolation of the kayaks. Great composition and processing.

[Jan Rose]

Nice selective colour.

[Andrew]

this is wonderful! love the pop of colour.

[*lynn]

wonderful story-telling composition

[Pam Knowler]

Great atmospheric shot! The use of sc really works here. Still a few more weeks Taffy to get some sunshine and lots more enjoyment from your Beaver Island stay.

[jayn]

lovely shot. feels distinctly autumnal here too.

[Steve Angell]

Lovely SC.

[Joan Robillard]

The island must be feeling moppy because you are getting ready to leave. LOL Nice use of sc.

[Rachel]

Wonderful sc! Fav

[Doug]

Love the sc

[Shanne]

so grey and dull - really picked out by the selective colour

[Danny G.]

This image really speaks to me - the bleakness of the landscape/seascape is broken up so well by the kayaks. FAV.

[BeckyS]

This is very nice. Bleak. The use of SC is perfect.

[Kate]

Very cool. Great fog , makes the SC pop!

[Jo]

Love the SC, it really brightens up what looks like a very gloomy outlook.

[Emiko]

Fantastic SC!! Love it!

[Sue]

Love this. It looks a bit bleak, but love the pop of colour.

[Custodia Baptista]

beautiful effect. fav

[Myrna O'Hara]

you are so talented!!!!!!!

[Cathy]

Love selective colouring... not all shots are worthy of this type of processing. You need to have a good eye.. and you have Taffy

[Lin]

Perfect example of SC at its best! Fav!

[Silver Fox]

Love the two boats and the processing.

[Sally Ings]

Superb use of selective colouring

[CathyK]

Now, this is looking too much like a winter shot to me! :)

[Penny Price]

Great for the 30 SC challenge.

[carol white]

Beautiful,love the s/c:-)FAV!!

[Call me Joe]

SC ?-So Clever !!:)

[Leon Buijs]

Lovely sc shot

[Islandgirl]

Very good photo to use as sc Taffy! Love it!!
fav

[Chris Johnson]

Superb composition and selective color on the kayaks! Great idea!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Love this as a sc shot. And it does look very wintery- that was a quick change!! All in all the composition and mood is beautiful. Great shot and a fav!

[Kathie]

Summer can't be over. Take that back! Love the sc esp on a gray day.

[Francoise]

love it; it's even plausible that this is natural coloring since it's such a grey day.

[Gena Pegg]

Spectacular image...so glad you chose SC...LOVE IT....FAV

[Ukandie!]

Great use of SC. I love the starkness of the image!

[Khawbecker]

Two-toned selective color is fantastic! Fav!

[Ryan Sullivan]

Beautiful, Taffy!

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

[Tracey]

Wonderful capture great sc here

[Kristen]

Love the contrast of the gray and the color pop. The shot makes the kayaks look like miniatures as well

[Al Bailey]

Fabulous selective colour shot :)

[Rachel Withey]

I'm not normally a fan of selective colour but I love this. Beautifully done.

[Darlene]

What a great shot and love your use of SC.

[Marnie]

You're right, they look quite forlorn, as if they 'know' their time in the sun is over for now. Great SC. Fav

[Harbie]

I love the selective coloring in this shot!

[Vicki Dixon]

very cool!

[Osia Strasner]

Beautiful! I have so enjoyed your trip and stay at Beaver Island this year, all the way from the dreadful mosquito invasion in the beginning to the start of fall, and everything in between....thank you!
