The Deck Walker

Creative, beautiful with the diagonal lines.  Congrats.  Best Regards,

Wanghan - thanks for your kind words which are appreciated. This was taken on Deck 9 of a cruise boat early in the morning after some rain. Some  strong wind and a rocking boat does not make it easy to get a shot like this sharp. I guess I got lucky!

With all those great photos I think this reflects your instinct rather than luck.  Strong composition!

superb.  best, jamie

Great composition and I like the narrow colour scheme and the light in the end of the shoot that support the depth and make it even greater.

Best regards Tore

Tony,

  Wonderful creative image with perfect composition.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

Tony, really well seen and a very original composition, with the slanting boarder. I really like the light on the wet deck and the figure at the top of the apex of the frame. V brave and very successful. Well done and best wishes William

Tony - a striking shot. The unusual bordering first cought my eye and made me look further. Then the rich colors in the deck commanded my attention. Then as I followed the wood planks, I saw the man walking. You eliminated all that was not needed like extra railing, sea, and walls - well done. Very creative!! Best Regards - Dave

Dominick:  thanks for the vote of confidence.

Jamie - glad you found it to be superb.

Patsy - glad you liked it because when you try something different it can be a big flop in aesthetics.

William and Dave - I appreciate the details in your critique.

Background: I was on a Carnival (same company that owns Costa) Miracle Caribbean cruise boat and to counteract all that availability of good food, I used to get up before sunrise and pound this deck for at least twenty minutes keeping an eye on the sky. It rained for a few minutes and then the skies started to clear. There were only about three hardy people out there at that time of the morning. I crouched and got everything set on the camera and I knew someone would be coming around the bend and waited patiently for that to happen. The rest is history.

Best wishes to everyone.

I wonder how you got the idea of such framing! I tried to remove it and saw that it doesn't go! Or maybe it does?!

Best regards Tony!

Pierre - thanks for taking the time to making the adjustment. Always appreciated.  For me photography is mostly a passion (almost an addiction) currently unencumbered by commercial thoughts even though a few of my photographs have been sold. I suppose in the end it will be a buyer who will decided on the format. I do appreciate your input. 

PS I am not sure if I wanted to post another ship deck photo but here is another one that has a bit less drama than this one.

Beautiful composition, idea and colours.

Drew - Thanks

Glad you liked this one - thanks for visiting. Glad we could communicate 'off-line'.

Love it!

Tatjana - Thanks.
