Nice capture John, that's a big boat!

John, I gotta say that I liked the color version better...the evening light drama is missing here.

I agree. I prefer the colour version because it had the drama but I really like the way that the mono conversion has brought out the reflections in the paintwork on the hull. Nice quality conversion.

+1 to John's comments.

The B&W version tells a totally different story. The colour version was about the sunset; this version is about the ship.

In the colour version, I think you needed the negative space to the right of the ship as it brought out the sky, in this one, I think you need to trim it back a bit as it doesn't add anything to the image.

William, thanks for commenting. I did like the fiery sky, thought seeing more of the structures might be interesting.

Though it's no surprise that I find myself so often agreeing with Manfred, I just have to take a special moment to mention that his assessment is so spot on in my opinion. I prefer the monochrome version, perhaps because there are lots more effective sunset photos than monochrome photos presented here at CiC and elsewhere.

I would add that though I agree with him that the primary subject of this photo is the ship, the image is also about many other interesting details that play a supporting role.

You can always blame the wine!

Mike, thanks for viewing and commenting.

I like the scale & perspective provided by the 'bit players' in the scene, they serve to add to the grandeur of the star of the show.
