Very nice marine type capture Andrea, with an excellent gritty presentation.

Thank you George, I have seen some of your excellent B&W images of those boats and they have loads of character. These two are in a harbour where you can't get to them at the same level so I opted for the top-down view. Would love to find some abandoned ones on a beach - maybe a trip to Kent is in order!

I guess the boats are incidental ?

.... That's a fabulous picture and composition.

Out of interest, is it specially glazed to look like water or is it actual water in a shallow tank?

Robin,

Thanks for the kind comments.

It was taken back in 2010 been using the wet weather as an excuse to go through my back catalogue and process what I put to one side. I thought there was a bit of water above it, but looking at their website it looks as though it is just Glass ( https://www.ssgreatbritain.org/things-to-do/dry-dock/). IT certainly gave opportunity to get up close, but it was fairly rusty in places as well.
