I went there too and tried a few shots but had to take them from such a distance because of the crowd (no tickets left).
Well done, you really managed a great shot considering the masses of people who were walking by in a file.
It was a crazy day, 3.5 hours on the lineup to reach the boats, man that was a killer, and the amount of pictures ruiened because of the amount of people over there, it was crazy :) Thank you for your kind compliment.
I was wondering if anyone would have the opportunity to walk aboard the Bounty for this challenge. Beautiful ship - the family and I had an opportunity to do the tour on board the ship when it was docked at port down here for a few months (and there was a pirate festival going on too:-) at the time ). Nice shot of the stern of the ship - shows off alot of the lovely detailed carvings. The angle is also interesting in that you have captured a lot of the masts and riggings of the main body of the ship. However, I think it would be an stronger composition if you had included the bow or front region of the ship. Taken at this same angle it would also have added interest over just a straight on level shot. However, that may or maynot have been possible depending on how many people might have been walking the docks (don't want people in the shot unless they were dressed in period pirate costumes) and or any obstructions that might not complement the shot. Still, a slightly above average shot and nice to see the Bounty again.
I really like the perspective to this. I wasn't sure about the kind of overly smoothed feeling I seem to get, but I actually think it works well as I look at this more.
