 Problem for today. European election day, but couldn't find much of it on the street (although politicians always claims otherwise). Dalai lama was in Amsterdam (wonderful man, my family was there, I had to work), so for today just a ferry shot (always need the ferry from home to work and vice versa): a cruise ship (not a very big one) on the channel. It's always a wonderful view to see these big ships passing. Sorry I couldn't provide better weather here.

Ferry shots are great, as there is always something different happening on the water, something else going past, and a viewpoint at things that otherwise wouldn't be seen.

I get bored at times of the blue sky, as clouds processed well can be a brilliant backdrop to a lot of things. I had a quick play around with your image in PS. Upping the contrast, adding some overall saturation and a minor tweak ont he Shaddows/Highlights got a lot out of this really quickly. Your image does look a little flat and grey, but with those changes in PP, it really starts to work, and the boat stands out really well, with a more menacing sky.....'Escaping the Storm'
have a play and see if you agree maybe........A nice image that can really work well

The various shades and textures of the clouds provide a more interesting backdrop than a clear blue sky would, so no need to apologize for the weather. The splash of water at the prow adds a subtle dynamic that enhances the shot. The few times my situation required ferry transportation, I found the experience to be a real nice mandatory transition zone, good for relaxing between each end of the ride, and good for the view.

Since I'm landlocked in NE Texas, it's great to see the big outdoors and ocean views!!! Wonderful image. :)
