[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another ship along the right bank of river Douro in Porto.

A former beauty, the pride of the owner – in these days nothing but a wreck waiting to be cut in pieces.

A little out of style from the ordinary postcards from Porto and Gaia with the old well maintained boats from freight of the portwine down the river Douro.

Soft effect from trying out software from OptikVerve Labs (thank’s for the tips seneca77)

Very good shot Jack. The different colours of the boats are creating a good contrast with the blue of the sky and the green in front,.. A desolating view, but very attractive tough. Well done!

Bonjour Jack,
Je connaissais le cimetière des éléphants ; ici, c'est le cimetière des bateaux. C'est bien triste, car un bateau laissé à l'abandon c'est un peu comme un poisson hors de l'eau !
Très belle réalisation, Jack.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Indeed Jack, this boat is well for demolition firm, the different colours, as well the green on the foreground as the brown and blue on the boats give a nice composition. The black frame fit well with this boat, a mourn frame.
Thanks Jack!
John.

Hi Jack, Fun to watch the ship parked in the dirty environment forever. Although it is in bad shape, it may had some good glorious days before judging from its decoration. I see a little sad mood in this picture. A nice shot.

Boa foto, ótima composição, lindas cores e ótimo ponto de vista. Parabéns...

A familiar topic here on TE for those of us who follow the works of José and others - good presentation of this abandoned ship, Jack. The diagonal positioning of the vessel is essential for the storytelling, and the post-treatment, even though it took a few seconds to get my eyes adjusted to, is not bad in terms of the look of an aged photo print that it conveys.

Hello Jack

Well cropped & framed with superb lighting, particularly at the front of the old shipwreck. Well done!

Very well photographied and this is a very natural restitution from this boat.
Like you I sometimes use the Optiverklabs filters and find a lot of opportunities in tis tool.
The soft effect you have used here goes very well to give in opposition whith your last post on the subject the feeling of a time that goes now slowly for this boat.
I like it
Jean Michel

Great colors! Like a painting. This blur is very fine! Good job!

great title for this cold atmosphere,Jack!
the ships/big boats with many stories,in stormy weather,in some nice sunny weather,many happenings and finaly...

great composition,I like it.
Best to You

Nice soft effect, looks more serene with this! Like a ship graveyard! i have seen photos with small fishing boats stranded on the shore but never anythgin as big as this!

With the exception of shipwreck beach in Zakyntos.
