the orange leaf

[paulc]

some photos take earlier this week from Wallasey docks on Merseyside, 2 of them have been hdr'd and noisy (still experimenting).
The cargo ship Orange leaf is being towed backwards through the dock system by the spritzer tug Bramley moore, she is going under a raised road bridge and because she has no cargo on board she has no Draft and her propellers are visible above the water line, I think that the large ship is in forward drive and the tug is pulling her backwards, there was also a tug on her forward end and another tug pushing her sideways when needed.

it was quite a spectacle to see.

All competent shots Paul although I feel compositionally they all could be stronger. e.g. #2 has a potential strong diagonal with the rail line but as it is not effectively used I have 4 items to choose to look at with not a single one dominating therefore I quickly lose interest.

Just my opinion anf hope to be constructive. Looks like a place to revisit as there is plenty going on.

Thanks for the comments, point taken on the composition, no2 was a HDR and tbh was the only shot that worked for me personly but the boat shots...well, I need a wide angle lens for sure..:O)
