    Just goint to bump this,

    I would like peoples views on this one.

    I was thinking it needed a bit of brightening ?

    Thanks in advance Alan

    The Hooker is a lovely boat-
    but there are a few things in this picture that take away from it-
    all of them outside of your control-

    The modern boats, moored, don’t help,
    the distance, and the relatively flat lighting, and flat calm, don’t really add too much either-

    Were the sails really black,
    or is it a silhouette and a green filter?

    These are lovely boats, great to see them powered up, and under full sail,
    and a picture at this distance can work-
    I’m just not too sure that this is the one…
    If you had been able to exclude the glass boats it might have worked better,
    might have made the old boat the main focus of attention-

    Sorry Alan, you did ask…

    Hi Alan,

    I had meant to comment on this when I first saw it but
    for some reason I neglected to do so.

    I thought the hooker was a little lost in it’s surroundings.
    But as Jospeph said the light conditions, as I well know, were not
    exactly prime for dramatic pictures.

    I suppose like me you had to make do with things as they were.

    Cheers,

    John.

    On a good note, I love the contrast between the darkness of the hooker and its brighter surroundings, even if it is a little lost.

    Thanks Guys,

    Yep another one for the OK folder . . . :)

    I suppose I wanted this to be a special one but as has been said
    there are just too many things just not right with it.

    Joseph, She was under Black sails, beautiful. they are mostly
    with maroon sails.

    Again thanks for the comments.

    Alan
