Fishing Boat, St. Lucia

[Becca]

I liked the colors of this boat against the incredibly blue water of the Caribbean. C&C appreciated!

Neat shot, Becca. I like the colors, too, but the different perspective is what does it for me.

Lovely shot Becca. I've had a little play and did the following:

Cropped the image (partly to remove the wire, and partly for the shape).
Adjusted the levels - white slider reduced to maximise the histogram, and increased the midtones slightly.
Slight saturation boost (+15).

Yeap,i see what you saw in that shot Rebecca,nice one.
I take it they put some kind of cover on that sort of pergola ting there for sun protection?

[Becca]

Thanks for the nice comments!

John, I like what you did. Thanks!

Dimitri, I have no idea what the "pergola" thing is for. It wasn't attached to the boat, but maybe its like a "boat garage" that they can cover when they get a storm.

Hm,that was my thought too.

Har de,


Having been to St Lucia and stood by the sea on a windy day... Cousin here thinks the locals would be crazy to put any cover over that boat.

Just think of a parachute on a windy day 20 feet from the ocean... it would be shredded and laying in someones garden in no time.

It could be a large bird deterrent (Pelican) as they tend to sit in the boats and make a mess with their corrosive droppings. Large birds will fly into a boat, they won't land, walk up to it and jump in, they need a clear flight path in and out.

Just some thoughts from a former bird geek.


Cuz... who still likes burds. :rolleyes:

Thanks, Cuz! You could be right! Never thought about that whole wind thing....

[stoneylonesome]

Colors are very beautiful, composition is pretty darn good also. :D :D

[Richard_Miami]

Great shot.. I love it. Very well done!

The wind comments are on target.. remind me to take shots of the next hurricane that comes thru here.. LOL

I believe it is a rack used for drying fishing nets. You see them all over the place down in the Caribbean.

[Becca]

Thanks Sandy!

Richard, I'm glad the whole mystery about the rack had finally been solved! I never thought to ask! And thanks for the nice comments.
