Hi Samo T: and here was I hoping no-one would notice the tide was out :-)

A lovely boat friend but we couldn't hang around for her to come afloat.

Hope you are having a great weekend.

I really like this one, Sean. At first glance, I thought the bright aqua van was a bit distracting and didn't really belong in the shot, but upon further viewing, it began to grow on me. It has a certain charm about it being so bright and bold, and adds just that needed shot of color to the background and kind of ties things together. Once again, your composition couldn't be better.

Also interesting about the very low tide. That adds a flare of character to the scene as well.

I like it all very much! =)

Best regards to you,

Mary Alice

I thought the same Mary Alice when I framed the shot but then thought it gave scale to the boat: these were traditional workboats and this is quite a large one (converted for pleasure trips). They are now mainly raced for fun and this little harbour is home to one of the largest regattas on Galway Bay.

Thank you for your very kind words,

Séan.
