Harbour / Malfa

I like the feel of the image, it speaks to me. Only thing is the 1/2 boat in the upper left corner.

Good work

Phill

Thanks, Phill: you are right - I should have removed the boat on the left side (hard work..). In the moment of exposure I knew, that I had to crop it.
Best, Thomas

Personally, I think the boat is an important part of the image and should not have been removed. Its clear that the boats are the main subject in the photograph. With the one boat cropped out slightly, it makes your eye wander outside of the image and makes you think what else there could be that you are not seeing. The one boat adds abit of excitementto the photograph for me actually!

Very nice,

I like it. It gives me a feel of haste and incompletion. A very strong image.

Clearly the movement is right to left with the wooden arrow like angles and the lower part of the landing comming up from the right to left so the boat appears to go out of the frame on the upper left is right with the composition. It is accurately depicted whether seen at the time or after. That it appears this way is why photography works and is it strongest point. Photography can see what's happening even if we don't sometimes. I like to think of it as a happy accident. It seems that you were ment to be there at that time with that composition. Good Work! A painter might have included the "half" boat or decided later to take it out; that's one of the major differences between easel painting and photography and that's why digital photography differs also, you could have taken anything out or added anything. Your film photograph is a fine image made in the classic way.
