Ship Rigging in the Sunset at Key West, FL

I would like some input on this photo.

Nice. I like the somewhat muted colours and I don't remember seeing any other evening sky done this way. Good job. (nothing to do with the picture in any way but I would lose the date)

---salty, marine shots like this appeal to me. (Rat lines on a square rigger/)But as first commentor, --loose the date.!!

Would have loved to loose the date but had it turned on by accident and didn't notice it until they were processed. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I like the color, it is different. Usually I like a sunset with the suns brightness reduced by a cloud or being already below the horizon. The sun placed as it is in the rigging effetely reduced the brightness, nice job.

Nice to see a subject and some interest in the foreground of a sunset. I like this and really appreciate the composition. I have a personal dislike for sunsets unless the sunset merely adds to the image.....not *is* the image. Nice job! Just photoshop that date out.

I took some similar shots when I was on a Schooner in Maine but they didn't come out nearly as nice. What was the name of the boat you were on. I have several pictures taken from a schooner off the coast of main in my portfolio if you are interested.

I believe the ship was the Western Union, last of the tall ships built in Key West. It laid cable to Cuba and up the eastern coast.

Nice compostion with the net well integrated into it. Just remove the date stamp as suggested!

Nice work Bill!

 

Brings it all back.
