Hi All,

I know what you might be thinking with the below: not another Tall Ship! Promise this will be my only one (in colour)!
I welcome some C&C here as I think it is a pleasing image. Contrast is a little on the grey side but I used a freeware prog for the merging of three bracketed shots and bumped up the saturation a little. I quite like it as I think the clouds add something but would love to hear your views. Am i way off the mark!

Thanks as always,
Al

Hi Al, I quite like the composition, it is a little bit pale maybe but that is just my
taste. If you are happy with it that is what is important, we are our own worse critics
after all.

When there is such a big event as the Tall Ships, there is a glut of photographs all looking
the same and trying to get something different is nearly impossible, I would say you havent
dont a bad job at all.

Hi Shutterbug,

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Yea I do agree that there are probably many shots like this! I’ll see if I can do something with the contrast too!

Thanks,
Al
