I figured some other people have some too. I added the big boats part because some people haven't had the opportunity to shoot/see these massive vessels! I'll start it off with one of my favorites.

It was a stormy day on and off which made for some cool pictures, but I almost like the b/w one better.    Matt

sapearl Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 25, 2008 08:05 | #7 Hello Iz, to a fellow Great Lakes neighbor. I'm just a bit south of you down in Cleveland, where the Cuyahoga River empties into the lake. A year ago while bridge walking I caught this shot of the Algoway making it's way up the crooked river. I felt it was a good color photo, but had more impact in B/W. It also rec'd Best in Show at the Butler Museum's Midyear juried competition.

sapearl Cream of the Crop More info | Nov 25, 2008 10:34 | #13 I appreciate the kind words Jay - yes, you nailed the mood I was trying to create. The color version is very "pretty" in a post card sort of way, but here I feel the impact of B/W really shows the power of river commerce, steel, and the skyline; color would have only distracted IMHO.

Anyway, this was at this years offshore boat races. Freighter had to go through so they waited to start. (I know, my sensor was dirty)  Matt
