The ship

This photo i took a couple of years ago. I like the timelessness about it and that it is

one of those moments you will never get back. The lady was reaching for the docks

and that ship in the snowstorm. The ship was mysteriously gone a few weeks later...

For me, this is a very "visual" photo in that it tells a story using very photographic qualities to do so. The contrast of the woman in black and the almost disappearing ship into the white of the light and snow adds to the narrative as does the perspective you've chosen whereby the street and buildings form an almost tunnel-like leading line pointing us in the direction of the main action but also allowing the woman's approach to be emphasized and to seem as if unfolding before our eyes. The black and white is unobtrusive yet effective and the composition feels framed, contained, yet expansive in the end.

Thank you for the very constructive comment Fred. Great analyzies with much depth.

Its always very rewarding reading such comments cause they help you see your image in another light and also learns greatly from it.

Thank you!
