Homeward bound

The wood-built fishing boat, "Helen Mona", constructed in Denmark in 1973, showing a Ballantrae (Scotland) identification code, but fishing out of Fleetwood, Lancashire, rides the tide up the Wyre Channel in the evening sunlight, heading for its berth, followed by some optimistic gulls.

I really like the colour of the sky, the lighting on the boat, and the fact there's a fisherman on deck looking at you. The sight of these rusting fishing vessels, with flocks of seagulls following in their wake, is such a common one when I'm near the ocean that it provokes pleasant memories of my seaside visits.

Very sharp photo with gret colors and very good composition.
Beautiful sunset and very good catch of the birds-very good exposure!
Keep up,

Thanks for the comments mysteryscribe, Antarctican, nemesh and kierukei. I took several shots of this trawler as it came in, but this one with its "wrong" composition (less space in front than behind) was the one I liked best. The birds and the "Johnny Depp" pose of the crewman at the front tipped it .
