I like the texture in the wood.

Thanks, Jeremy. That and the contrast between the flaking paint, the wood, and the bricks behind were what made me raise the camera.

I like the texture and the composition, but I wonder whether color would be better. It would set the boat apart from the background better. Have you tried a version in color?

Another image by Russ has its own story to tell and leaves us with questions.  I love that!

Hi, Daniel, I shot it with a digital camera, so it originally was in color. But the punch from this picture is in its graphics. Color tends to detract from the graphics.

Hi, Kevin. In street photography ambiguity is an important force. In this kind of thing, not so much. But ambiguity always helps grab attention from the viewer.
