Hello David,
thanks for looking, you can hardly see the rigging on the colour slide
either. In fact just about everything was against the shot, it was taken
more or less against the light on a dreary day.
A grey hulled ship on grey water against grey stone houses against a
grey sky.
But as I wrote, I like the composition - there should really have been
an attractive young lady - or a mermaid - at the bottom left, but, as
you saw, I had to make do with a grubby biker eating fish 'n chips.
Such is life - sigh
cheers
Douglas
