This is one of the many ocean going vessels supporting the Petroleum , Chemical industry in Baton Rouge. It is not uncommon for them to be docked on The Mississippi for weeks at a time , blowing smoke.

I am glad you said it was 'smoke'..otherwise I would have thought 'fog'!..
Fabulous find along with some fabulous workings!..

Marsha, I can clearly see that this, under the Liberian flag sailing, tanker is empty. Therefore I don't think that it's blowing smoke, but steam, as steam will be commonly used to clear empty tanks because of the thick oil residues. This can be a rather time consuming job.
Good image.

Lovely shot of the tanker Marsha. That river has always amazed me. Such strong currents with millions of tons of water flowing for ever! We always had to anchor with two anchors because of the current.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Cool shot, Marsha... as that Steam sets the mood for Your composition! As for Constructive criticism, the Rule of Thirds might be my Only suggestion, here... with a Little more Sky and a Little less water in Your composition... though, the Detail of the Water is Very nice! B&W works Very well for this Presentation!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Great shot! This would have made a great ocean-going industrial shot in the contest. Great effect on this. Faved.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
I partially agree with Adam, Marsha. The foreground water could be reduced by about 20%, and eliminating the sky completely, removes a number of distractions and makes the steam more noticeable. A touch of contrast would highlight some of the ship's detail.

Maybe the ship never leaves the dock. Maybe it's really someone's houseboat. Whatever it does, I like Doug's suggestion to show off the smoke.

I do like this, and the color tone you used works for this one, I had to chuckle at Tick's comment, so well said. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
So it's blowing steam not smoke, [I read Cornelius comment] this is a mighty big tanker but then again all tankers are big. The photograph is good Marsha but perhaps a little faint adding more contrast will help.

This shot has the look of the old WWII films. I like the water and would rather look at the water instead of white sky. That's my water thirds rule. In the history of the world, water wins everytime. You failed to mention one important fact... that you shot this photo hanging out of the passenger window while passing over the bridge at about 70 mph! Not bad for a daredevil shot!

The most precious jewel you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children♥
A formidable image for sure but I would have shown more sky and less water to balance it out (3rds rule)..............unless that wasn't possible. Love the toned down colors Marsh:)

The P must stand for politician since it's blowing smoke.
I like the effect.
