Some old boats in Peggy’s Cove.

Colorful, especially effective against the lowering sky.

Thanks L&S.

That first one is a very strong composition, but I like all of these. Great subject and great treatment of the subject in terms of composition. I might even want to play with these in black-and-white if I were you. 😉

Thanks Rob! I never think of Black and white, its as if it doesn’t exist in my head. Will have a go. Even though we have a lot of great black and white on site, It still doesn’t register when I  am editing, until someone mentions it. Must be black and white blind.

The problem is that when you start to think of scenes in tones rather than colour it’s also hard to go back the other way. A mixed blessing, I suppose.

Love the compositions David and the colours are brilliant 🙂

[davidc]

Thanks Dahlia. It was just luck that the sky clouded over and gave a lovely soft feel to everything.

Well executed photos David, I just cant get past the feeling of wanting to clean up a big mess.

[davidc]

Yep! it was more like a scrapyard than a working dock.

I was in Peggy’s Cove in 1980.  I recognize the location where you shot – it looks almost the same.  I love your compositions and how you captured the colors up close and at a distance.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I hope you got some shots of your own, Anne!

[davidc]

Thanks Anne. It is a lovely place!

The regressive progression of composition as you move away from the boats, creates interest. Did you do another landscape shot that included the entire boat farthest to the left?

[davidc]

Couldn’t physically get the angle to the one on the left. A bit off a wall with a lot of junk in the way, but got a couple from above it.
