Very nice...that cloned out perfectly.

Thanks for your suggestion, Justin. I did it the better I could.
Regards,

I like the composition - I get a feel for summer of a different kind - rather than my summers of oppressive heat and everyone not wanting to work outside, for other places summer is a time of work and play and outdoor living - short sleeves and shorts, boats plying the waterways, and trees green and healthy. The only distraction I'd remove would be that yellow tape on the chain - everything else is fitting.

Your explanation helps, Daniel. The working men seem comfortable

I take notes of your comments John, I appreciatedthem. I understand that in your opinion the title has not too much relationship to the image, and a pretty girl on the jetty had helped. Well, in fact what I want to show is people working under the hard sun in summer. If this shot had been taken in winter, all the people you can see in it would had dressed heavy coats, but of course people have no obligation to know the situation in this small city of the world to be able to interpret my entry. So I understand you are right.

I like all the elements of this image, except perhaps for the foreground. I think that it could just as well start at the base of the trees. The trees frame the image nicely, and everything is delicately balanced with interesting repetitions to distract us. The title says that summer has come, but I wonder what is showing me that. I wish that there was a pretty girl on the jetty, then I would feel that summer had come. The wood floor of the dock and the fences and their shadows create interesting lines and textures. There are many interesting elements to admire in this shot.
