Hi Allen ... have looked at this photo a couple of times and have to think about it .. quite like it .. but wondered .. if you could have included more of the grass at the top .. making the boat sit diagonal in the photo .. going from corner to corner ... I know lots of times .. it is circumstances that won't allow it. Thanks for sharing ..
Cheers
Else

Hi mate,
Have to agree with Whatt. Also this would have made a great subject for HDR. Still like the shot and subject though.
Cheers

Nice shot with lots of lines and textures to follow through. I think you could crop a bit off the bottom and right to bring the boat more into centre stage. Very well done!

Hi Allen, .. Didn't know that u were in a chair and that does make it more difficult to move into the perfect position . being the only access to this derelict boat .. a narrow bridge .. and yes .. agree with Peter maybe cropping a bit bringing it into center stage ...
Cheers
Else

Thanks Else and Peter you are both right about the crop, and I think I should have posted this in B/W to get rid of that funny colour in the mud which was caused by pollutants from the old factory workings I must get into the habit of checking all possibility before posting
