Good capture considering the light conditions Cornelius. That sky looks threatening although the sun is shining.

Superb lighting on this C...

I can make out the 'glints' on the water

I love how the weather conditions have created such a fabulous light on the water and the sky is magnificent ! i have not forgotten the 'Union Emerald' - she is a fine vessel. Nice post all round Cornelius

Well done, Cornelius. It takes me right there.

Your lighting is superb Mr. C. - and what a magnificent sky.

Oh I like how this one turned out, Mr. C. you captured this moment perfectly. tigs=^..^=

Powerful picture, full of emotion, pending troubles.

Drama in the sky, but still waters. Great job, Sea.

I like the dark shoreline, the soft dramatic clouds that contrasting the shimmering waves. Nice one.

Yes, the shimmer almost makes it not look like water but something more solid. At first I thought the pilot boat was towing something, then I saw the water churning at what had to be the stern and realized that's where the prop is and those light-colored vertical "dashes" are probably floats hanging over the side of a lower rear deck. That shimmer really throws off a clear identification of the rear portion of the boat, at least initially. It also makes this a "truer" photo than most, exactly how it appears to someone there. No one can gripe about the light washing out the water because bounced sunlight off water looks just like this... there's no way to make it look "better" and no one should suggest it. And as others have mentioned, the sky and water are loaded with drama, albeit of an entirely different nature. Outstanding, C.

Really like the water looks silver withe the textures and that's a stormy looking sky
