The first one is very relaxing… The colors are pleasing and the ducks add just a sense of life in this quiet landscape.

Jeremy and Francois - thanks.  Yes, it was a very tranquil summer's night.

The first one is beautiful.  There's nothing wrong with the second one that couldn't be fixed if the fisherman was fly fishing for salmon with a two handed Spey rod. ;D  But, I suppose you have to work with what's there.  Imagine the action if he were wade fishing and had a nice loop of line under control up in the air with a nice forward power stroke in the rod . . . oh well.;)

David, a photo of a guy fishing would normally be nothing to write home about but it tickled me that he was out with his line at midnight.

Good stuff, Rajan, as usual.
Especially the colors and atmosphere on #1.

My comment about the fishing picture was all tongue-in-cheek.  My compliment of the first was real.  Nice work as always.
