APS minolta ..
A first go with a touch of drybrush effect
Taken aboard a wonderful yacht off the French normandy coast near Cherbourg, the deck newly scrubbed!

Lovely comp, great shot Maggie :o)
Lovely shot Maggie, makes me yearn for the open sea- had a great wee sail down in Poole harbour last weekend with my old cruising pals and it woke up so many memories, what a strange and strong call the sea can make on us.. Peter
lol its got the same unsettling effect on me … was doing fine in a landlubbery sort of way til i came across this….
