Went to Williamstown (vic) last Sunday it was very misty/foggy reflections were nice

these are two i took that may interest any ship lovers that may be out there

first is HMAS Castlemaine which i have taken pics of in just about all light conditions and she always looks great !

second is a large ocean going tug that works in Bass strait

not great pics but nice if you like ships (as i do)

D2x and 70-200 afs with vr off as i forgot i had turned it off last time i used it grrrrrr

There is something quiet and peaceful about the 1st one I like alot. Well done.

like john said: something peaceful about the first shot.

compostionally also,

in the second shot I find the buildings in the background to be distracting.

I like the first shot a lot though. well done.

#1 I really like your composition here. From the flat water to the masts behinds and city skyline in the misty haze. It's a beauty, great detail.

#2 I didn't realise that there were tugs this size (sheltered workshop I live in). That sucker is huge. Sure the buildings are a little distracting, but I'm still amazed by the size of that tug. Do you know what they use them for?

#1 is my pick here Nikon Boy. A slight contradiction in terms - naval warship and peaceful but i agree ther'e a sense of tranquility about this image
cheers

I quite like the first one too. I like the way the buildings in the distance help to create perspective, but the mist/fog softens their appearance to prevent them from detracting from the subject.
Nicely captured.

Thanks for the comments everyone !!

The first one seems strangely peaceful... Not sure why, whether it's the misty weather, not sure...

It's a great place to wander around though aint it?
