Howdy Travis,

Wonderful perspective and composition.

Very nicely done.

It's a hard boat to shoot, so since you asked, some crit based on your shot, and being there once myself:

1. i swear its impossible to make that boat look "straight", a few degrees to the left maybe? I had the same issue, but the boat and surrounding buildings never seem to really match up. i like that you've cropped most of those distractions out.

2. bit sad you chopped off the flag on the bow (go USA :D)

3. pretty poor resolution there, lots of artifacts (see the leftmost anchor), did you link us a dud? :dunno

4. maybe this is the same answer as #3, WB seems a bit red, like you scanned in an old print?


Did you check out the museum?

Thanks for the honest critic Doc. Your right on keeping things straight but that is the problem shooting at 18 mm 20 ft from the boat. I didn't notice the artifacts before so I'll have to revisit the original. Its not the resolution so I must have introduced them during the processing. I appreciate the input. I haven't walked through the museum yet. I work a couple blocks from it so if I ever get more than a 10-minute break, I may take a quick tour.

Allright!! Go Wisconsin!! I like this image a lot...how the buildings and negative space on the left mimic the shapes in the ship, and overall perspective...my eye doesn't seem to mind that much that it is not completely "straight" As said before though, the ship itself is a little on the magenta side...and the flag that was cut off at the front is a little distracting...IMO...clone it out completely?

Thanks Lady and Dank. I didn't think about cloning out the flagpole....doh! Something else to work on....:D
