MOTOR on the boat isn't too quiet, I'll bet. Beautiful picture, but he should be rowing along, silently, or maybe at sail, but not motoring in.

I hear the ocean and that boat motor, but still one of the best shots in this challenge.

beautiful photo... I just have a hard time classifying it as something that portrays silence since the guy is obviously driving a motorboat and those outboards are anything but silent.

A motor and a wake don't make me think of quiet. But this picture has great colors, and I like the siloutte effect.

Beautifully serene.

Beautiful - but would get higher from me if I weren't thinking about the racket from that boat engine! Also, colours feel a tad oversaturated even for a sunset silhouette.
03/05/2004 06:19:22 PM
Great capture. The sun with the red tones throught the picture look encriedable.

This is the most incredible sunset I've ever seen! Great photo! Where did you take this?
03/05/2004 06:42:00 AM
The colors and the composition and the atmosphere are all great, but the power boat destroys the feeling of silence.
03/05/2004 02:22:52 AM
Wow...awsome picture.

lovely capture, wonderful colors - very nice

Hard to think of silence with a motor boat as the subject. Nice shot though. (Don't let the sunset haters get you down.) I think a little wider framing - with the full wake, the boat off center to the left, and a bit more land at the right - would have increased the sense of coming home at the end of a day on the ocean. But would have fit a rest-type challenge better than silence. 6

GREAT shot! holds my interest well. (Is that a SILENT motor? lol!)
03/04/2004 03:12:28 PM
Wonderful picture. But I'm not sure that silence is there with a motor just behind...
03/04/2004 02:33:08 PM
i hear a motor... i like the colors around the sun, but i dont really think its on theme.
03/04/2004 07:59:55 AM
The loud motor of the boat are silence to you? Beautiful landscape, but not silence expression.
03/04/2004 06:03:44 AM
This is a really wonderful shot....except for the motor disturbing the silence.
03/04/2004 04:40:48 AM
Beautiful shot! However, a guy in a boat powered by an outboard doesn't say silence to me. Now, if he was in a canoe that'd be another story but ...
03/03/2004 06:30:12 PM
My first thought was awesome sunset, then I see the guy in the boat and I imagine him talking to his girlfriend on a cellphone. :) Very nice shot!
03/03/2004 05:36:25 PM
A beautiful photo but the noise of the motor disrupts the silence. Love the colors and composition.
03/03/2004 04:50:53 PM
Nice pic - love the boat and the man as a sillhouette.
03/03/2004 03:38:03 PM
Breathtaking shot, but a Silent outboard motor...
03/03/2004 09:25:54 AM
nice colours and sunset
03/03/2004 07:06:48 AM
beautiful shot but it doesn't say silence, to me, with a boat moving through it. I can hear the humm of the motor
03/03/2004 05:17:42 AM
Beautiful atmosphere portrayed here
03/03/2004 04:53:55 AM
Well...it would be a good picture for "silence" if it wasn't for the motor on the boat. Score: 3
03/03/2004 12:56:22 AM
If it wouldn´t be for the motor I would have given u 9 but it destroyes the silence alot in this great photo 7
