Haven

Had the day off today to visit my parents and watch Pompey take on league leaders, QPR in the evening.

The drive down to Hampshire was wet, windy, and heavy showers. So after popping into see Mum & Dad, I headed down to Hill Head to hopefully capture some stormy seas. But despite the strong winds, the tide was out and the sea quite calm. Bummer!

I took a few photos, but settled on this one of boats in Titchfield Haven. I turned it B&W as it adds more and to be honest, the sky looked a fake blue in the colour pic.

Footie was ok, Pompey took the lead through a twice taken penalty but QPR equalised in injury time after a dodgy penalty of thier own... Two sendings off so quite eventful.

Beautiful photo, Andy! I love it in B&W. Lately I have come to love cloudy and gray skies much more than blue!

Great job Andy, good choice with the B&W. Like all the masts going off into the distance.

[Cherrill]

ahh Titchfield haven..spent many happy hours birdwatching there :-) This looks quite stormy and portentous (??) despite your comments.

[Jennifer Pelot Rysewyk]

What a spectacular shot. I love the B/W effect, because the boats really stand out against the grays.

[Arlyah]

Very nice. Lovely in b&w.

[Sue Stephenson (Swazzette)]

This has quite a dramatic edge to it, despite the calm seas.
