I work at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital. If you walk out the back door of my department you are literally less then a hundred yards from the water looking at the Norfolk water front.

Walk down to the water look right to left

    The cranes in the bg on look right, must be some major construction going on there. Awesome color in the sky on water front and the composition and contrast in fishing is terrific!

    Very nice -- loved the silhouettes in the first photo and, of course, the black and white of the bonus.

    The golden silhouette of the first shot is dreamy, the color is awesome! The fishing shot is interesting in how the towers in the background replicate the shape of the masts, and almost draw your eye to them... seems like they should have been distracting, but they weren't. If that makes sense!

    Norfolk is lovey in orange. Nicely composed and thoughtful shot. Like everyone else, like the b&w...the small boat trailing the side of the sailboat added to the interest of the shot for me, along with the reflection at the front. B&W was the perfect choice, because it mutes all the competing elements and helps the eye focus on the boat as the central figure. Really nice set, Ash.

    what a beautiful area to see from you work...the left side would be too distracting and would want to spend a lot of time there.....really like hazy morning in b/w

    I love the colors in the first shot! I would be too distracted to get much work done with the great views. Also love the fishing shot, agree that it looks great b&w and the composition is right on. :o)
