Very nice picture. Wonderful colors, and quite sharp for a 1/20 !

The boat is perfectly exposed for this picture, with most of it black, and just the crates slightly lit, answering the sky's color and therefore making the scene so harmonious.

Congratulations!

Effectively so greatful sunrise colors, but you can adjust the horizon to get it straight even after shot (as suggested in workshop).
It looks better, isn't it ?

I really love this Bill!! Outstanding color and saturation.
Very beautiful colors and clouds. You are very lucky to have such the opportunity.
The silhouette the boat gives off is very interesting, and your off-centered compo is very nice.
Well done and I am adding to favs and a theme.

Hello Bill,
I can tell that you are so happy with this catch and I like it too. The big ship with excellent shape in silhouettes is just sitting there gorgeously against that stunning sunset. Looks kinda like the ad for Pearl Harbor .
Have a wonderful weekend and best regards,

Dear Bill Laucp,
yes very colorful sky...but I like the silhouette of the ship better than the sky in this shot. when I see this ship, the sky and the sea become simple back. interesting shape and suggestive motion of the crane, it is attractive silhouette.
thank you,

Stunning colours Bill, very well composed, excellent detail, good reflections and strong silhouettes. The workshop was unnecessary in my opinion. I did copy the image into my photo program and decided that the shoreline in the distance included bays thus making it appear to be tilted. TFS,
David

Hi Bill,your inclusion of the cargo ship as well as part of the dockyard gives an added vibrance to this scene,the capture of all those great colours certainly gives a warm
feling to the viewer.Instead of a capture of only a colourful sunset you have combined an activity with it, making it even more interesting image.TFS

Ojee, I thought I had commented on this wonderful picture already, Bill.
Gorgeous colour tones in it.
The composition with the ship is outstanding.!
You took it with 1/20 sec., But The water looks froosen, that means you sharped it ? Maybe better not. Now it looks like a sandbeach with footprints.
Maybe one more blur?
Have a nice day.

I look in wonderment at this absolutely beautiful capture. I like it with the ship in there, and yes, the mast does add a kind of thrill (not that the sunset isn't enough thrill!) to the overall scene.

Hi Bill,

This is a nice palette of colors. Beautifull saturation, well exposed. We can recongnize de boat shape even if it is deep black and it is OK like this since the boat is not the main subject, but the sky itself. However that boat defines the location. Very nice work and TFS.
