Many thanks for all your valuable input, which clearly indicates that the FG + railing definitely detracts. I wasn't sure about this, but now I am, so thanks for highlighting that issue. I did get shots from other viewpoints, but not from this angle + over the fence
. However, I might try a closer crop on this one + clone out the fence.
Stephen, you should go see it at Portsmouth ... as you know, it is a very impressive vessel which is lovely inside, much roomier than the Victory (which is extremely cramped) + much grander inside. It's well worth a visit, especially as you saw it 'growing up'
They also have the Mary Rose on display, which has largely (not all) been retrieved from the seabed + altho not complete yet, much of it has been rebuilt. It's in a closed display, visible thru glass, as it's still being treated to preserve the wood. Sadly too dark in there to photograph.
Thanks for raising the valid point of the railing, Mark.
Hal, just mild basic adjustments here of levels, curves, selective saturation, + USM. No fancy processing was needed, as the natural light was just right, luckily
Thanks Graham, yes I am pleased, it's my favourite shot of the day
Pity the railing spoiled it
Yep Dave, again you're right about the railing.
Thanks all for taking the time
