Lobsterman's Landing in a town north of Boston, MA, USA. Many lobster boats moored out in a small inlet. I took shots of many of them as well as some colorful row boats. I liked the blue on this boat as well as the seagull. The boat is moored but I cloned out the ropes to make it look as the it was moving.

Seems like I am in a critique club mood at the moment, this is already number 3 :) The crop on this image is far too tight. If you wanted to give the impression that the boat is moving then I would have left more room at the front of the boat to give a little more reality to the movement thing. It would have helped a little, but the fact there is no one in the boat at the wheel and there is no wake behind the boat kind of defeats the movement theory. At the most it could be drifting. The seagull is a good touch though. I also would have used your tele at the full 210mm to blur out the background more, bringing more attention on the boat.

Nice bright blue boat! Love the bird rider! Maybe a wee bit too cropped/framed.

Hitching a ride? I thought that was the captain...
