Extra Info:
this is harbour coalmans delivery boat wating for the coalman to load and distribute to the many residential boats moored in the Harbour. this is also a filkling a niche in the harbours economy. the boatman was asked if they had scrap wood from their workshop for the woodburning stoves many narrow boats. this has developed to delivery of smokeless coal

Coal now comes in white bags! Due to computer crash lost my favourite pp program. Now trying to get pe to work, and combine with a dull day.
The tight bottom crop was due to plastic/dirty fibreglass dingy illegally moored!

Nice image but I find it was cropped a little tight at the waterline at the bow and I find the white object distracting.
Still high on my list.

I like this very much but I think it needs a bit more contrast for pop.

Just love this shot. If I'm not mistaken that's an inboard engine under the cover - not much speed but tons of power. Wish you had cloned out or faded the white bags. Also would suggest deeper blacks but that's a personal choice. Composition is excellent.

Composition - 4/5
Tone / Texture - 3/5
Good composition, but lacking a contrast to bring out the detail in the boat and water.

The composition is great, and the various textures of wharf and boat and water add a lot of interest. Well done

The white bag in the centre draws my eye to it
apart from that great shot
