Flakey
One of the best features of this ship was the flaking paint that revealed nearly a century's worth of naval touch-ups. Battleship Texas was commissioned in 1913 and retired from active duty in 1945, because steam ships had generally fallen out of fashion by then.

Wonderful colors and detail, Martin. The peeling paint looks blue on my monitor...and a beautiful blue at that. Do they ever take the battleship out on the water for a "test drive"?
I really like this, Martin. It feels very strong...even if "retired." I find myself staring at this. Very strong....
Wonderful textures in the background. The foreground really stands out beautifully as well.
Great pict Martin, graphic and perfect composition. This blue is just splendid. Like a deep sea. Well done.
Excellent, Martin, really like this a lot, and the flaky-blue paint of the ship works so well.

Outstanding, love the details of the steel wires and the rust colors, the lighting is good, the flaked ship add to this, outstanding picture.
Love the detail on the cable with the deep blue backdrop.
Lovely Martin. Beautiful colors.. Love the shot...
A double hit - flaking paint and rusty metal! Combined with the rich blue it makes a great image with lots of textural detail.

Like the textures and colours in this shot Martin.
Nice crop Martin, crisp focus and a lovely blue, s'all verry niice!!!
Love the variety of hardware you have captured, Martin. Dragging it out of bottom left is an inspired act of composition.
Nice contrast. love the back .ground
There's no breaking away from those steel ropes Martin. Powerful shot
Excellent composition in blue
graphique, avec de belles diagonales, et sympa. Bonne idée.

very good isolation of detail Martin, the blue backdrop has served you well here. mal
Lovely diagonal composition. Great texture and lighting.
WHat a wonderful piece of detail, and it looks nice too wasn't it kind of them to give you a lovely dark blue background as a perfect foil for these cables.
Très belle image! Merci pour votre travail
Amicalement. Francis
Your eye for detail never lets you down Martin - lovely rich blue.
Superb colour and texture Martin.
nice texture and tones. That is one sharp photo. nice work.
OMFG. Beautiful! Sorry you're in a red frowny face ShMood - I can't think of a critical thing to say.
As an editor, though, I must tell you that your title is mis-spelled: should be "flakey." (There, that was critical!)
Martin: Fixed. Thanks for being a good editor and of course for the visit!
A likey !
I like very much the deep blue here and the composition is perfect ! |
