First of all, thanks for all the great comments on yesterday's shot. I really liked it, so it was good to hear that you did too. The downside is that it's all downhill from here, at least as far as the Riverdance is concerned, as I don't think I'm going to get a better shot than that one.
As today's: unless I can think of a new angle, or something dramatic happens, then this will probably be my penultimate shot of the Riverdance. As with yesterday's one of the things I was trying to do is capture/illustrate the scale of this boat – and I think it comes across reasonably well in this one.
Oh, and if you're wondering about the line of people in the distance, they are standing at the other side of the exclusion zone; i.e. around 800m away from where I'm standing.
I've also posted the original image, not because there's anything special about the post-production, but because I thought you might like to see the original scene:

This is my favourite of the series. I like the processing, but most of all I like that we can see Blackpool Tower in the distance. I don't think it was in any of the other shots and it really adds a sense of location.

Wow...very dramatic. The colours work very well for this shot.

Amazing! Every picture in this series is more stunning than the previous!

Yes! I thought yesterday's shot was the best too, but now I changed my mind.

very nice range of colors. i love this little man in the lower right corner :)

I'm not sure it isn't as good as yesterday's picture. In three months this one will tell us exactly where the accident took place. Actually, I might even prefer this one but it is a close call...

For "me" this is an ok photo. The reason is simple. I cannot look at this photo without being remind the rest of the photo of the series, which for 'me' are more powerful images. I even think I see something I would have like to have shot with my camera in this photo.
Anyway, I think from all the comments there was plenty to learn from your series of photos. I certainly did.
Thanks
Bill

Def not downhill - maybe even a slight incline ;-)

Great photo. The relections are fantastic.
