In a world where a blog is created every second does the world really need another blog? Well, it's got one.
An irregular set of postings, weaving an intricate pattern around a diverse set of subjects. Comment on culture, technology, politics and the occasional rant about life.

Choice of compass reflections
Two photos taken on board Tenacious at the Tall Ships in Belfast. Not sure which shot I like better ...
No doubt you'll let me know!
Further shots over on Flickr - very few of ships ... they were too hard to see!
The top picture has the numerals in better focus, but the contrast isn't so good. The lower pic has better contrast, and the eye is drawn to the reflected masts and rigging.
So I'm voting for the lower picture: what's reflected is more interesting than what it's reflected in.
I think I side with Margaret. I'd argue that the second one's nice once you've seen the first and can clearly see what it is, but on its own it's not as striking.

That old DOF/POF quandary eh. And our survey said....the top one!

I say bottom one, the reflections in the top one are a little too strong, better contrast in the second one... try it in high contrast BnW
I like the second one better. :)

But I'm enjoying the debate!
