Halsar Marina, a photo from Hampshire, England

Photographer's Note

I liked the contrasts- the solid green against the grey lines of the masts.. The Marina serves a good breakfast from 7 Am something I have found unusual -- most plaes ( except in the inner Cities) generally start later..

a little about the Marina

Haslar Marina is located inside Portsmouth Harbour, on the south coast of England, just to the west of the entrance. It can be easily identified by the bright green lightvessel Mary Mouse II permanently moored to the outside of its breakwater. The lightship contains a small bar and restaurant, as well as one set of shower, toilet and laundry facilities. (Others are located elsewhere in the marina.) Visitors' berths are near the entrance by the lightship.. The Lightship was a traditional red when in service..

Hello Rich,
I like how the green boat stands out and gives colour to the dull and grey surroundings. The amazing number of masts almost hid the background but enhances the graphical side of your picture. Well done.
Kind regards,
Christian

Hello my very special friend from England

Did you travel to Hong Kong and more?
And you get up so early to enjoy breakfast at 7 Am in Winter?

Like your photo exactly for the same reasons you told, contrast of the green ship with the grey background provided by the shy and mast
Good taste for the frame with the thin green line
Sending you some sun from Buenos Aires

Hi Rich
wow, this one is a 10 out of 10 for me.
First of all, I love the options when visiting a Marina, and this one is so unique.
having the green as the primary focal point against all the greys behind it is amazing.
lovely photo of contrast!
brilliant!

Effectivement le contraste entre le navire-restaurant vert et la forêt de mâts gris est un point fort de cette intéressante image bien composée.
Amicalement

Bonjour Rich
Agréable contraste créé par ce bateau vert et l'arrière plan sous un voile gris.Ce vert vert donne une très bonne touche à cette image.
Bonne journée
