 Shot this at the Seattle Aquarium; and it is a color picture, just really that gray out.

This was a really hard challenge. Pick your best shot, I think I may have spent more time on this challenge then on a weekly challenge.

The sea is a difficult next door neighbor. Well done.

Good shot. B&W was a good choice.

Lovely foggy tugboat seascape.
 03/17/2009 12:43:54 AM
to dull in grey
 03/16/2009 06:22:30 PM
Great at sea shot.
 03/16/2009 03:36:44 PM
There's a nice depth to this and a lonely feeling due to great composition.

The sea is a difficult mistress. You've caught that feeling for me.
 03/15/2009 07:30:30 PM
I find that the lack of contrast, and flat colours help this image. Gives it a real maritime feel.

A good use of the fog.
 03/15/2009 03:00:37 PM
Great composition.

I like that other boat in the distance, it anchors the shot I think.

hm maybe if theres was just one ship (that at the far end ;)

nice mood though



;D brano

I almost can hear the horn! Nice grey and black tones.
 03/14/2009 03:37:33 PM
Ok. Focus on what?
 03/14/2009 11:55:16 AM
Rather haunting, but might have benefited from a bit more contrast.

moody, but just a little flat, you work with what you have, I know

This image is a little flat overall; even for an image depicting fog.

 03/14/2009 05:46:17 AM
Very moody - I like it.
 03/14/2009 05:41:42 AM
Wow that fog looks this. Nice job including both boats to show us the fog.
 03/14/2009 12:42:55 AM
I like the "duplication" of the second boat
 03/13/2009 10:09:11 PM
Very evocative image.
 03/13/2009 06:20:20 PM
My work monitor isn't calibrated and it shows images on the dark side. Still, I'd like to see some white areas to provide contrast to the grey day.
 03/13/2009 10:24:19 AM
Can't hear it.
 03/13/2009 10:03:39 AM
I can hear it! Very nicely done.
 03/13/2009 07:42:15 AM
wow, this is beautiful
 03/13/2009 05:47:48 AM
I know it is a gray/foggy day...but the photo itself seems to dark
 03/13/2009 04:43:43 AM
A little to muted for me but nice subject and good detail.
 03/13/2009 03:46:12 AM
very low key.Would do really well in a grey challenge, but will be tough to score well in this one.
 03/12/2009 11:02:51 PM
it maybe better in color
 03/12/2009 08:03:42 PM
Grayscale works in your favor here.
 03/12/2009 04:12:23 PM
A bit borring
 03/12/2009 06:19:52 AM
I know its difficult lighting but this is somewhat lacking in punch
 03/12/2009 05:36:24 AM
I might have tried a tighter crop, but great shot!

 03/12/2009 05:20:31 AM
very nice shot, i can hear the horn :) well presented.
 03/12/2009 02:21:32 AM
The boat in the distance adds to a rather dull shot, because of the weather I mean!
 03/12/2009 01:15:24 AM
Gives a feeling of cold and winter.
 03/11/2009 06:16:11 PM
Image is very gray. I guess that sort of goes with the title though. But at the same time, it really brings down this image for me...
 03/11/2009 01:29:34 PM
Or "Two ships passing in the night". :-) Nice that you kept this in the deep grays - quite fog-horn'ish that way.

I was there as a youth, or so memory serves, but youth was long ago....
 03/11/2009 03:29:21 AM
the sea when she's calm and foggy, this is a nice shot, you've captured the two ships nicely, perfect angle
