Bread on The Waters

The Port of Savannah is one of the busiest ports on the Atlantic coast. This is one of the very large container ships about to pass under the Eugene Talmadge bridge.

This was taken last year on a school trip sponsored by Wilderness Southeast. The view is to the East, going upriver.

Nice job on this, Phil.  I like all the geometry going on in the image and the colors of the containers add a lot of interest.

Phil,
This is a cool photo.  Since my office is based in the Long Beach area, where the largest US ports are located, these sites are familiar.  I am still working my political contacts to try and gain access to the ports for a photo quest.  Containers, the ships, the gantry cranes and other port elements are wonderful subjects.  Thanks for sharing this one.

Excellent! Great geometry as Dennis mentioned. A photo within the photo would be an abstract of just the containers.

This is a wonderful image. I like it a great deal. A pattern of precise geometric shapes in a variety of colors. I would crop this on both sides to form a square frame to give it a more artsy look. Perhaps clone the red line at bottom into the black. Great job.

Beautiful shot, well composed - just wish there was a touch more on the bottom.  This would make a fine print in a hotel lobby
