Hi Craig,

Your 1st photo is so much fun to look at. My eyes rise up to the flag on top. All those lines....I had to follow each one. And the color is

Your 2nd photo --- the white ball fascinates me. Did you take a look at it?
3# --- its pointing out to sea

I enjoyed looking at all 3

Hi. I really like the first and third. I'd LOVE the 2nd if you cloned out the power lines - kinda blows the historic wharf look a bit The signs don't bother me - even though they're modern - but the power lines...

Howdy Mary,

Thanks very much, on the ball, I think it was an old bouy of some kind.

Howdy Snowgirl,

Thanks!!!!

As far as the powerline and the historic wharf look, that's what the historic wharf looked like:D Just part of the modern world, unfortunately!!

Hi Craig,

I like #1 and #3. In #1, I like the contrast between the clouds and the dark tones of the masts and the contrast between the black water and the light tone of ship body. There are many ropes but they seem organized some how. I tried taking shots of a similar historic ship and couldn't figure out how to frame the numerous ropes. Maybe I was too close (standing directly underneath the masts). In #3, like Mary Kim said, it's neat that it points out to sea.

These are all very nice but I especially like #1 for the reasons already mentioned by others. Did you manage to get any good shots in the town itself? The overhead wires and parked cars obscuring all the pretty buildings drove me mad when I was there.

Hey Craig,

I like them all. I wonder about the old 3 masted ship. Is it used as a training vessel, or perhaps offered up for tours? The maintenance on something like that must be horrendous and I wonder how they offset those expenses.

Keep 'em coming, my friend, and take care,

I really, really like #1! Beautifully sharp, lovely colors and great clouds. I only wish there had been a bit more image at either end; to me it seems like something may have been cutoff. Please consider this a minor nit; the picture is wonderful.

Howdy Jack,

Thanks very much, I know what you mean, it was really hard to get any
clear shots of most things.

Howdy Tom,

I am not to sure about the Pictou being a training vessel, the Bluenose II was in port and it's a training ship, and was putting out to Sea the next day. It's supposedly a replica of the famous Racing Ship and fishing Vessel.

Howdy Tony,

Thanks very much, it was a surreal scene, late in the evening, and a storm coming in.

I am afraid the Wires were a major factor in the Composition of the first image. I would have loved to have gotten the whole thing in but the lens on my IR camera wasn't wide enough.

Appreciate the kind reply.
