This is a shot of Liverpool waterfront. The red ship on the right is a retired lightship (or floating lighthouse) named the "Planet". The building to the left is the Port of Liverpool Building, which was built in 1907. The city boasts some fine architecture, expecially around the waterfront area, reminders of bygone times when the Port of Liverpool was one of the world's major shippping ports.

The shot was taken in late evening on a cold, dull day, despite the fact that it was August!

PP: adjusted levels, cropped a little, sharpened, framed.

Hi Tim,
This is a superb perspective of this place with great reflexion and stunning colors. Even if the sky was covered, colors stand out so brightly with beautiful contrast. This is nicely composed and exposed. Well done!

Excellent work Tim. Very well composed, the red of the old lighthouse ship pops out and very good overall detail. Perfect reflections and I think the murkier sky actually worked for you here. TFS,

Hi!

Well i do like your refletions too! it´s a great photo with beutiful colours... wonderful composition!

Regards
Ana

Nicely balanced composition and an especially good capture of textures and colours in the reflections Tim.

I would almost be tempted to add a gradient - dark grey, or even orange - through the sky for added impact. I think it would lift the dreariness from the sky and really give it some life!

A very beautiful 'stil life', as it were ;o).
As you prove here, a dull day can render nice images, Tim. I love the reflection and the excellent saturation of the colours, especially on the former lightship.
Beautiful, even though I think it's a bit tilted cw.
TFS

Hi dear friend,
the red one makes the compo!
Great angle of shot and framing.
A fine posting. Congrats!
Have a lovely week.

The red boat and even the blue one really make this scene a lot more lively.
Good reflections especially from this magnificent POL building. I hope you got closer shots of it.

Great shot, Like the composition and the splash of red from the boat that contrasts agaisnt the more subdued colours in the rest of the shot.

"adjusted levels,..."
Come on Tim, be more specific. Teach me the secret of fire; what have you used for that adjustment:curves or levels.I think it was curves because curves is Ferrari,levels is just a ...regular car:)
You mentioned the levels but no word about colors; it is impossible to get these colors out of the camera,right?
Great mysterious post-processing work:)
Nelu

Hi Tim, congratulations you just made 100 points on this photo.
I think that a close up of the fine building The Port of Liverpool might also have been very interesting. Did you take any ? Maybe next time?
