Or perhaps the title should have been "Expanding the Repertoire".
After long days at work it's all too easy to take the easy option and go where I know that I can get a photograph with the minimum of effort. Not surprisingly this ultimately proves unsatisfying, it seems that I need to keep a level of challenge in my photography, when it becomes routine and I feel that I am not learning, or pushing myself, the motivation becomes much more difficult to maintain. An interesting thought as I near the half way point of this year, and contemplate that I am also closing on the mid point of my objective of three years of a photo a day!
So yesterday I managed to get to the HarbourFest at Wick on a glorious summer's day, I arrived late in the day, and most of the stands were being broken down, definitely not my usual subject, lots more photographs than I would normally take, but I am pleased with this one which I hope gives the feeling of a crowded marina. As usual I've had to keep the saturation down, Nikon reds easily become too dominating.

I think you've managed to get a good photograph from all the confusion. The masts are ideally placed for giving a feeling of recession. The strong colours in the foreground help to give depth as well.
Thanks Keith,
I was pleased with this, not my usual style, camera off the tripod and taking photographs quickly and allowing composition to be instinctive.
