I like the processing,
At first I thought I would have cropped out the foreground rocks, but the more I looked at this image, I think leaving it in was the best choice as it highlights that it is in a canal.

Cheers AntZ and yes that is why I left the foreground rocks and brush in - was to give it a sense of place.

very cool image and processing. The rocks add to the comp for me.

Thanks Marko!

One day they will be pushed along by magnetic forces from orbiting satellites yet we'll still call it "Steaming" :laughing: It's a great shot Ed:thumbup:

Great colours and I like the comp. That is one long boat.

Cheers Runmonty.

Very striking image! I love how the red colour of the ship is highlighted by the greenish tones in the water. Also, the muted features in the sky don't distract from the main subject - ship on water. Lovely shot!

I can't add anything to AntZ's comment. Cool shot.

Cheers Steve, Doug and Michael

Really like this one Ed. Nice crisp detail, and contrasty colour combo.
