    Awesome, awesome, awesome...

    I like the homes more than I would seeing a plain ocean horizon. Much more interesting.

    Tuna amazing work as usual. I love your black and white work and this is one of the better ones I have seen in quite sometime by anyone. I actually like the houses in the bg because it gives it a sense of depth and scale. Great eye!

    Awesome work, Im jealous of your consistantly great performance man! ;)

    awesome angle. Yes I will complain about the houses, and one other minor thing as well - I wish the whole boat, or at least more was captured. Even still, a great capture as usual...

    The boat has taken on the appearance of a cartoon character. Very well positioned in the frame and the houses are just fine.

    Re: A Boat

    My only problem here is the title - its a ship not a boat.

    A boat is a small craft which can be carried on a ship. Very unlikely that this would be carried on anything.

    Other than that its a terrific shot and I wouldn't change a thing.

    I knew that at some point the seamen would comment on my underwhelming title.

    Yes,...a ship indeed.

    WOW!! The curves on the "boat" are almost obscene! Beautiful and impact-ful angle to compose this from.

    Yeah, the angle looks neat. A Tuna boat? The anchors look like eyes.

    Well done, Tuna. Tom said it well when he commented on it taking a cartoonish appearance. Great tones and perspective.
