Beautiful capture Mary. Simple, clean but the bird and ship combination make this photo stunning.

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
How beautiful, with that tiered effect of the water, cloud and sky. The boat -- and the bonus bird -- are placed just in the right place. The colours are lovely, too.

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
Very crisp image, but I especially lke the golden sky breaking through the clouds. It reminds me of one of those 1970s "serentity" posters.

Beautiful layering of colors on the water and in the sky, the bird and boat give focus and strength. Exceptional shot!
By the way, my son-in-law is from East Yorkshire, so it makes for even more interest in your photo.

@Wolfgang Prigge: Thank you Wolfgang :) If I could have asked a sunset, I don't think that it could have been any more perfect.
Greetings to your son-in-law and your family, your little grandaughters are beautiful. :)
