I photographed this sloop up the river several weeks ago and I know Oneputt went down several times to capture it in morning light without success. He recently told me it had moved to the mouth of the river and he had been waiting for a good sunset for several days.
John managed a pretty darn good shot of it on the weekend.

This afternoon the sky just lit up and I was lucky enough to be there for it.
Not only was there a great sunset but it was also really calm. I know John is in Melbourne and will be really pissed he missed this sunset.
I have at least a dozen brilliant shots from various angles and with evolving sky colour as the sun set.
Sorry you weren't here John.

This pic has minimal PP work done.

Appreciate your comments

That my friend, is an amazing photo!!!!

Very nice Bob

Top notch. I'd be spewin' if I missed that too!

It does seem to lean right a little?

striiiike me pink, this is POTY material, amazing.

nice shot bob, looks great on my new 24 inch iMac....... and John will not be happy, so pray

dayummmmmm un-frickin-believable.
apart from the fact that its a pearler of a photo i'm also thankful for the much simpler border you used on this one.

Beautiful !

Astounding stuff. Where's the vote button?

I assume you're half way to tracking down the sloop's owner, who'd just love to buy a nice expensive print of this...

Wow

Amazing stuff, well captured.
Not much else to say that has not already been said!

Holy crap is that what a Qld dawn looks like - absolutely wonderful

what a cracker of a photo! POTW hands down

WOW! That is stunning...

Fantastic shot!!

Shorty

Beautiful shot, I like how you've kept the entire reflection in the shot. Defintely POTW.

Fantastic pic - well done!

It's alright, I guess, if you like perfect sunsets, awesome boats, beautiful waterscape and stuff like that. Well captured.

Incredibly beautiful image Bob - well done.

Really like this one. I especially like the way you have managed to use the rule of thirds here. I like the idea that although you have a centralised figure, it becomes the point by which we see what is effectively a window with 4 parts all working towards an overall whole. Colours are nice and I like the play and balance of the image overall.

holy cow! very nice!

wow, very nice colors... stunning capture that.

holy crap .... thats awesome

when he gets back i'll be able to hear John swear from here

Awesome for me - this color gradations, almost all spectrum on the sky connected with this siluette shape - from my point of view ***** for this photo!

Oh wow.. its superb.. the only thing wrong with it is...

that I didn't take it... *cries*

Superb capture and perfect timing and balanced composition Bob. Impressive!
cheers

Thanks all - for your comments and enthusiastic support for the image.

Great shot Bob.
Is this the boat that was moored in Petrie Creek during its refurbishment over the last few years?

Could be Craig - not 100% sure.

Yet another beautiful shot Bob. The time, money and energy that you have invested is surely paying dividends now. Keep up the fantastic work
