Gorgeous. Simple and so appropriate for a retirement card. The water is beautiful, Fatih.

Well, you already know how much I like this image, Fatih -- but to repeat, it's simply outstanding. Well seen and taken. Helen

I like the simplicity of your composition - it is very sound. The texture and color of the water is very refreshing and inviting. The message is also appropriate for the image. Another winner in my book.

Nice minimalist image that makes a great retirement card.... solidifying the simple life of retirement.

Beautiful Faith. I was in Dubrovnik in 1963 with my parents. I concur that it is a wonderful place. I'd like to return. Love the simplicity of this and the wonderful colors in the water.

Thank you very much for the very constructive comments Mike. I like this version much better too. Fatih

Fatih, I think this looks very good. Before, I thought the large, white text placed at an angle in the water competed too much with the striking minimalism of the photo. Again, very nice shot for a retirement greeting. Well done. MFC

Fatih, this is a great choice of image to use as a retirement card...it really gives the feeling of relaxed and liesure living "away from the madding crowds". Nice perspective, color contrast, and composition here. (*)Since the photo is so effective showing the lone, white rowboat making its way across the open, blue water, you might want to place your text in an area outside the image. One suggestion would be to make just the bottom part of your border larger and put a reduced size version of your text in that space. Might even consider using the phrase...Enjoy Your Retirement. Great shot to use for a retirement card. Well taken. MFC
