A real gloomy day on the Mersey,then one ray of sunshine highlighted the Crystal Symphony just long enough fo me to get this sot.

Great capture. And you prove a very important point here. At the end....it's the quality of light that makes or breaks the picture.
Well done

Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.


Curious about my photography?? Just Follow the Light.

It is a great shot. With the white ship grey river and sky it almost seems to be black & white. But then you see the blocks of orange and turquoise.

At first I thought this was a selective colour process.
A really striking picture ... nicely caught.

Great shot at the right moment, would like a little more space at the top and sides or perhaps less water but well done a very striking image.

Lovely colours, John. Great image. Were you in the middle of the river or on the Birkenhead bank?

So when are you off on your round the world cruise:::

Damn right it does. A grey day is hard to work with.

Lovely shot - personally I wouldn't have it so central.

Thanks for the comments guys. I was on the ferry Howard, when the weather is bad on the river you have to get in close.

Just noticed the two wind turbines on the left - behind the stern - I would have cropped those. Isn't there also something about giving things room to move "into"? Or am I totally wrong?
