applied vignette		       Extra Info: This photo was not pre-planned but was a quick snapshot taken when I arrived at the scene just as the vessels were leaving the harbour. I am anticipating comments re the boring sky!

May 12, 2015		     Thank you for your votes and comments. I'm pleased that many of you appreciated my attempt to replicate a "telescope" effect.

May 11, 2015		     I'm not usually a fan of vignettes, but this one reminds me of a seafarer using a spyglass to view distant vessels. The old and new is obvious and well-presented. In my favs.

May 11, 2015		     Suits well to the topic, but in my opinion the vignetting does not make it better. Anyway, in my favorites.

May 11, 2015		     Great capture - it's not often a shot like this presents itself, and you did an excellent job of capturing it. The vignette certainly seems to create a union of the two vessels.

May 11, 2015		     Sky is perfect. Nice shot especially in full size where the details really pop. In contention for my top pick.

May 10, 2015		     The vignette creates a sense of seeing the boats through a telescope. Nice touch!

May 10, 2015		     Great job meeting the theme requirements. It's a nice composition, especially considering the circumstances you described. Adding the vignette was a good choice for two reasons. 1)it makes it appear the viewer is looking through a spyglass and 2)it breaks up that godawful boring sky! ;)

It's one of my favorites, despite the sky.

May 10, 2015		     I like everything about this image. Composition, lighting, focus is great and right on theme.

May 10, 2015		     I added the vignette so it appeared that the vessels were being viewed through a telescope as Elyod and forkcandles have pointed out. Maybe I should have given the vignette a more pronounced edge to emphasise the fact.

May 9, 2015		     I wouldn't have worried about the sky. I wish you had left it as I find the vignette a bit restricting . I love the vessels, and well caught.

May 8, 2015		     The vignette is bit heavy-handed -- like looking through a tube.
Elyod
May 8, 2015		     Great shot, on theme and the vignette gives a nautical "telescope" view.
forkcandles
May 8, 2015		     the mask makes it like you are looking through a telescope
the sky is not boring as the Kaskelot needs a plain sky to show off her rigging to the best advantage.

May 7, 2015		     Very nicely done. There is enough in the scene without having a distracting sky and right on the theme.
