Whoa, warn me next time! Now I'm all sunburned. Really, these are nice. You even showed the gold edging on the clouds. I really like the ship, especially the colors. It is a good composition. If you settle for a smaller enlargement, the grain won't be as noticable. Don't worry too much about the underexposure. This is an anonymous freighter making its predawn passage to ports unknown. It would be *wrong* to show it as anything more than a shadow on the deep blue sea.
