I like the way you framed the boat with the arch John.
As usual, very creative, John...I like the atmosphere too.
Lovely colour - was it dawn ?
Hi John.
I find the bright areas of the sky pull the eye away from the ship. You might consider cropping off the left, top and right so that no sky is showing around the outside of the gateway. We can see the ship but we would see more details of the hull and the structures above the main deck if you were to lighten those areas.
That's well seen John. I must admit that the lighter areas in the sky are a bit distracting but that's how it was and I don't personally believe that a crop would improve matters. As it is, it tells a story and that's enough.
