"Good Hope" moored, though more likely abandoned, at Skippool Creek in Lancashire.

edit : smeggy rope has been removed. Any better ?

Lordy, you'd need more than a little "hope" to go out in that.

Decent capture too. Tho I'd be tempted to clone out the smeggy orange rope

I like the angle of the shot and the processing you have used on this - really adds to the overall feel of neglect / decay.

I love the colours and comp but I agree about the orange rope.

Thanks for the comments, I see what you mean about the rope though. It didn't bother me until you mentioned it. I'll have a go at cloning it out tonight.

I don't think that the rope detracts too much. If you can't clone it out, how about just desaturating the rope to grey

Nice shot, love the angle and it really works for me........ I think its crying out for B@W conversion..

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the comments. I started with a mono conversion, but reverted back to colour. Here it is anyway.
