O Linda

An inshore artisanal fishing boat tied up on the beach at Seixal. The

sky was dull and overcast and threatened rain that never transpired. I

spotted this as I walked round from the ferry station into the town

centre. Originally shot in RAW, I used Photoshop to convert to black

and white.

i really like the contrasts you've captured... my eyes are drawn to the rope? attached to boat that goes toward the water... did you crop any? cause you might consider, if indeed you did, cropping a little less on the left-hand side, so that one can watch the rope disappear into the water.

Thanks for your comment. Now you have pointed it out, the rope has become a problem to me. Since it is not a crop, the matter may have to be resolved by the rope being diverted in Photoshop!
