Long boat replica Geraldton Museum

The evening light catches the rich wood work. They were getting the

boat ready for a sail the next day, when I happened by, just a few

days after I purchased the Canon EOS 300D. This boat is normally

moored off the board walk in Geraldton, WA, Australia.

What do you think of the rather busy background? Would blurring it out

with a shallow DOF improve the impact?
