s.s.Bounty 1 Photo

Photographer’s Note

My previous posting was of the same ship.
At Greenock 13.9.2009 She was touring Europe I believe.
s.s.Bounty used in the 1962 film "Mutiny on the Bounty"
staring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard plus others.
This is a replica based on the original H.M.S.Bounty, although slightly larger pro rata by about a quarter
This photo shows the figurehead.
It was tradition in this time for a figurehead, the more elaborate the more wealth the ship owner.
Sometimes his wife or..... a lady.

I sharpened, hopefully not too much to bring out the contoures of the figurehead

Hello Robert,
I think, if anything, this closer view is better than the one you posted yesterday. It makes you feel more involved and part of the scene. The crew members bring a touch of vitality to the scene. Good colours and sharpness.

Hi, Rob,

That's an interesting shot. There's something strange with sharpness - with all those ropes it almost looks like a drawing to me, especially the people in the background:)

Best regards,
Marina
