I agree with Wayne. I can almost hear it. I love tug boats, almost bought one to convert to a live-aboard when I was young, living in Vancouver, and have always been sorry I didn't.
What a ripper shot. Steam is such a photographically pleasing era. Catching it under when going under the bridge was very clever in terms of composition -- giving you just the contrast you needed.
I lay on the deck for about 100m to capture this!! It was blowing a gale and the entire eastern seabord was under a 'severe weather event' which I thought was but a storm - but what would an old codger like me know!!
That is a spectacular capture. So cool in monochrome. I feel I should be holding my ears!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great image.

ReplyDeleteShe's surely a fine old lady! I like the contrast of dark and light, smooth and "fluffy".
ReplyDeleteThey do have loud horns for such small ships.
ReplyDeleteJulie, it looks like you were an erstwhile passenger. I love the gleaming stacks and roiling steam.
ReplyDeleteNice. I like the contrast and the upward angle.
ReplyDeleteWhoa!
ReplyDeleteThis is a FANTASTIC shot!!
Makes me feel all Robert Downey Jnr in Sherlock Holmes (??!)
Very dramatic, good lines. Congrats on making the wall.

ReplyDeleteA stunner!!!!!!! Especially in b/w. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo in all respects. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteYou have caught the charm of these old steamers just right - and it MUST be b & w.
ReplyDeletePS The original statue was of a yellowish sandstone - the background was all kind of things. Photoshop is a is a very nice tool :-)
What a great shot ... it's amazing!
ReplyDeletePerfect B&W!
