Your title suggests a murder mystery and your photo could easily be the book's cover. The window above the light bulb has an interesting reflection.

I like this photo. I appreciate 'casechaser's' description. There is definitely a story here. Nice work with the lighting/composition-the circular motion created by the hand rail captivates the eye. Nicely done...thanks...

Nice capture. Great focus and lighting.

The light shadows caught my eye too!...unusual angle for this shot..interesting!!

Interesting shot. I found myself looking all over the place to see what was there. Nice details.

Well, I see that .stonewolf has practically taken the words out of my mouth as I too was thinking, "I like this photo. I appreciate 'casechaser's' description."...nice lighting and I like that curved rail...almost expect to see someone show up around the corner...nicely done.

Is there a big burly captain with muttonchops on board? That's what I think of on tug boats. Interesting image, Dan. I think I hear the clang clang clang of the bell now!

This is one of your best to date Dan. The composition is top notch. It was pure genius to include the bell.

Humphrey Bogart is around the corner smoking a cigarette on that you can be sure Dan. Good "film noir," feel to it.

Rob [above] knows that watercraft is my passion !!!
I have worked for 20 years in the best Polish shipyard - which in the effect of the positive democratic changes and healthy capitalistic and competitive approach has been wiped off the screen. ggggrrrr
I have participated in dozens and dozens of sea trials of the new vessels - all rather big, but also two tug boats.
I seem to remember and smell each and every part of any boat/ship or any other watercraft.
Thanks.
Yours SAM

Dan - An outstanding b/w. Thad
