Very nice, Mark. I like the perspective... it has a 3D feel to it. I like the b&w conversion. Nicely done.

I like the high contrast effect and POV, Mark. I'm glad you told us what it was because I wouldn't have known otherwise. Great image.

Mark, I'm glad you told us what it was too. It makes a great abstract. The contrast and stark look is appealing.

[Maureen Allen]

Very cool POV, Mark.

[Paul Lagasi]

Can you imagine trying to climb up this mast, with all the ropes and pulleys...especially in a raging sea.
Nice work Mark

Cool B&W abstract, Mark! Land Ahoy!

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Steve and Denise, I figured I should identify the source, for all you land lubbers here!

Paul, I can't imagine it, as I have an advance case of fear of heights. While I love sailing and sailboats, I could never climb the mast. But from the deck, I can appreciate those that do during a storm to save the ship and their lives, though to me climbing it is akin to losing their life!
