'Had to clean it though...' Made me smile, such a throwaway comment. Nice work there, loadoftripe.
Be well, stay safe.

Well worth the 'test run' I'd say it passed fine.
Would those shots be Bideford, by any chance ?

You're proving that it's as much about the photographer as the equipment - well worth it

See the second photo Loadoftripe, i like it because its an old fibreglass bilge keel hull against a really old ship lap timber hull and that is the photograph.
The contrast between the two with the texture from been laid up for so long, is a photo worth pursuing when light permits.
Forget all the surrounding elements and concentrate on the texture between the two old wrecks, get in close.
you probably have loads of time cause neither boat is going anywhere soon
Oh i forgot to say. that i like the photograph as it is, it just got me thinking.

As for number 3: yes, the iron post is a distraction. I don't feel it adds anything to the composition. Was it unavoidable?

Don't be afraid to crop to a different shape if need be
Here is what I've done - hope you don't mind ?

No problem, yeah it is avoidable and I have other shots without the pole, also an abstract one taken a while back close up through the 'eye' of the 'needle' / hole! thanks for the comments peeps.

2. f8 - I did lift the curves on this one;
3. f11 I don't know if the steel (mooring?) pole is a distraction or not?
