@Morgane: Thank you, Morgane.
@jamesy: Thank you. I usually don't like to center, but for this one it worked.

That is a great shot Betty, perfect framing, and you've got the water beautifully.

Really nice boat photo. I like boat photos; this one reminds me a bit of one of my favorite movies - "The Perfect Storm."

@Viewfinder: "The Perfect Storm" is one of my favorite movies, too! I love boats, especially fishing boats! Thanks, VF!
@MJ: Thanks, MJ!

I love the fishing fleet. I try to get down to the docks and take a few shots every year. This is nicely taken. I like how the mist and haze has gently faded the horizon to nothing.

This is a remarkable shot, Betty ....... and you even caught a gull in it.

@Veronelle: I thought so, too! Loved watching it come in, watched it from the horizon!

Nice picture - well composed and great detail. Do you know what these fishermen would be trying to catch?

@Bill Ault: Thanks, Bill. I'm not sure what they were trying to catch, but I found this in a Google search "Commercial fishing in New Jersey is centered around several small ports. Point Pleasant is the focus for shellfisheries, and supports a large fleet of resident and transient clam dredges. "

What a great capture of the ocean and the ship Betty. Very beautiful.
