Wonderful shot Ian...great tone & lighting...with the filter?

@Ted: Thanks Ted....It's a while since I took this photo so I can't remember if I used the 10 stop nd filter or not. Looking at the exif, however, makes me think that it probably wasn't used on this one
@Tilala: Thanks Tilala....it's amazing the effect that capturing the movement of clouds will make to an otherwise very simple photo.
@Ana Lúcia: Thanks very much Ana!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Holy Sky! the circle of light around the bridge seems to be throwing jets all over the sky...brilliant image, so glad your equipment is back on its feet ;)

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine....yes it's great to get my laptop back but I can't see myself going back to posting a new photo every day as it's too much for me at the moment. I'm trying a lot of long exposure photography at the moment which means I'm taking a lot fewer photos than I used to.
@Alun Lambert: Thanks Alun!
@aubry: Thanks Marc!
@Marie: I've always loved n&w photos (noir & white for all you franglais speakers out there who get as puzzled as me by photo jargon :-)
The first time I saw N&B (noir & blanc) it had me really puzzled but I got this N&W reference straight away :-)
@the3red: Thanks!

Hmm, that bridge on the right is like a surprise included in this very good shot of the boat in the foreground. Nicely done.

I like this too, but yesterday's shot was just spectacular with its colours.

Suzanne Cummings from Huntington Bch, United States
Gorgeous. In fact, looking over your portfolio, everything you've done is outstanding. Amazing that you've only been doing this for less than a year. You are a natural.

This is a classic maritime black and white image. Very, very nice, Ian.

Superbe! Beautiful modern and old composition (boat and bridge). The sky is perfect.

I like very much the long exposure effect on the moving clouds. Beautiful picture of that sailing boat during low tide.

Sylvain from Trois Rivieres, Canada
I really love long exposure clouds !! (I need to buy a step-down ring to use my old neutral filter ;))
And this time the boat is just where I would like it be :p

amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Standing ovation, Ian. The elements of the sky/clouds, b/w conversion, to the lights on the bridge with the beached boat to anchor the whole image is magnificent.
