Description

Would you like to take a ride, just like old time? C'mon, don't be scared, that the way some still do it at Ile-A-Vaches Haiti. A little PS job bringing the canoe and the island together. :)

John Matthews May 08, 2006

i would have preffered this without the canoe, the scene is too beautiful to include it 0 if the canoe had been new then it would have been ok (its a good composition) but the look of the canoe spoils the scene for me...hope this helped...John

Christian P. Nicolas May 08, 2006

Thanks for the comment John. I am sorry it does not work for you. Actually if you browse trough my gallery, you will find the same scene without the canoe. Like they say: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks again for the constructive feedback. :) #2739533
