Working Lobster Boat

We went to the town of Bath today and ate lunch at a restaurant on the Kennebec River, which leads to the ocean. This lobster boat was right next to the restaurant. My teenage son advised on the editing. He wanted it to be grittier. Don't know if I achieved that, but letting him decide fit the theme of family vacation. Sorry I was so grumpy last night...

No apology needed, and the photo, tell your Son it was a good choice

[Peter Auliciems]

that's a great photo - reminds me straight away of those cable shows of macho fishermen braving the cruel sea

This is fabulous! Is it BW? You should tag it for the julybw theme if it is. Love the details, especially on the lobster pots

[Kalexa]

[Brian Buccigrossi]

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

Um, when were you grumpy? Your son was spot-on with the composition of this one. Another great shot, black and white works well with the subject.

Thank you everyone! I just read your comments to my son and told him he was a genius. His response: "I'm not a genius, I'm an artist." Love that!

I didn't think you were grumpy. If you want to see grumpy come to my house right now. anyway, I digress. This image is awesome! Your son's direction was spot on. The tones of b+w really really work. Genius!

[robinwarner]

[CocoRose]

You both did a wonderful job as artists!
