Ahoy Sailor!

The Tall Ships in port were a feast for both the eyes and my camera! A number of people in period costume struck a prefect chord, as did Jonathan Wade who works for the Fisheries Museum. He's at least 6'6" and looked fabulous as yesteryear's sailor.

I love the old-timey feel to this - great capture and processing!

@bradsworld Spot on!!! That's too awesome! I photoshopped out his name tag, and I made a photo copy to take to him. I thought he looked fabulous! Thanks for sharing that notation!
