Cranes Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

In the City of Grimstad there is a ship yard. From a distance I saw these cranes.
The white and red are the parents, and the little yellow one is the child saying: "Take me up!"

PP: Crop, USM, contrast, framing

Post edit:
I tried to make this image sharper but then a halo appeared around the cranes... and it wasn't pretty ;-)
I think the lack of sharpness is due to mist in the air and FL of 300 mm.

Funny scene when we look at it with your note in mind! I agree the yellow crane seems to be holding its arms above its head. I like the colors of the crane.
Interesting picture. The cranes look really big, is it an important harbour ? (fishing, trading ?).
I think your picture lacks a little bit of sharpness.

Yeah, I see how your mind works. I get the same kind of associations. And nobody seems to think it's funny. Well, I'll buy the fairy tale. It's also a nice rendering of the Norvegian countryside I think. But you could have left out the funny frame.
