 a last minute effort - hopefully enough voters know the phrase. I think it should be reasonably familiar.
Its my first submission with my new 50mm f1.4, lovely bit of glass although its almost twice my age.
Also the first time I've shot in RAW
Pretty simple postprocessing
Convert from raw
levels
colour balance
USM
save for web

and then after summitting I decided that it needed a border to break up all the black.

"Passing like ships in the night." It looks like it's moored. ;-)
Anyway, nice night shot.

I like the positioning of the boat at the top and the use of space at the bottom. The light and reflection on the right is a little overpowering, IMO.
