Found her on a trek to Lunenburg on a rainy sunday (thanks Grant :)). According to Wikipedia:

The RV Farley Mowat is a long-range, ice class, heavy-duty conservation ship. Originally built as a Norwegian fisheries research and enforcement vessel, she was purchased by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in Edinburgh, Scotland, in August 1996. She is named after Canadian writer Farley Mowat.[3] Her previous name with the group was Ocean Warrior.[4]

She was the flagship of Sea Shepherd's fleet until seized by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans off the coast of Newfoundland in April 2008. She was purchased in late October 2009. As of April 2010 she is moored in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia being refit for operation by Green Ship LLC, a company headquartered in Oregon. She is to become an expedition vessel and will be doing research in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

I did two versions this shot:

and then wanting to convey a feeling of age:

Wow...Nice captures. I'm in for the colour version here as it's a colourful ship. I bet it's got many high sea tales to tell:D

While I like the rusty red uder carriage, I like your second treatment more. Cool processing, Bambi!:highfive:

lol glad that both appeal. I've been thinking of revisiting it and doing a a mix of the two so that the colours are there but desaturated.

Grant was kind enough to give me a tutorial on layers and masking and I've been having fun trying to figure it out. :)
