  1. The B&W experiments give an interesting look to the photo, but I much prefer the original - in color.

    1. Hmm, I thought the colour was a bit thin and tried to push it a bit just to see.

  2. I agree, this one is perfect. The color on the boat just ties the whole scene together.

    1. I don't know I wasn't feeling it. I don't know if it's the bluey green on the plants or what. But something isn't clicking.

  3. I love old hand built boats.

    1. It's a very old design called a Cot. A river cot to be exact. The thing has a flat bottom.

  4. I like getting the perspective of both. And I love the boat!

    1. Yes, I think there's more to the B&W than the impression you see on the screen. There's a grain in it that is square because of the design of the pixel on the screen. But when you print it, the pigment droplet being a precise globe softens what looks crunchy.

  5. Great shot, let's take her out on the water!

    1. There are some old film footage of the Cot in action. That are flat bottomed, and I don't know if the Newfoundland Dory came first or did this, but both were used by the very same people.
