Life's Work Done

Taken in Martha's Cove, Nova Scotia.  You can only wonder what it has seen over the years.  Thought the treatment might be appropriate.

I really like this John because it has the look of a print from a vintage half- plate wooden camera .....look back through your ...History of Photography ....books to see what I mean.

There's something quite poignant about this, great subject, composition, treatment.

I like your post processing very much. Looks vintage. Suits the subject: the boat and buildings in the background.

Addendum to my first post.....

Look up the work of.....Frank Meadow Sutcliffe.....he produced a whole series of sepia and mono photographs of Whitby and district using a  wooden, glass plate camera.

Very attractive image: I like the composition and PP, but I think the vignetting is overdone.

Thanks for the feedback all.

I love FMS's work Fuji.  There is a tendency to think that Street Photography is a fairly modern concept, but he was effectively recording every day life in the street and elsewhere in and around Whitby at the turn of the last century.  I suppose that strictly speaking his images are documentary but I like to think of him as a early pioneer of street.  You reminding me of him has caused me some concern.  When he was rediscovered through some of his glass plates being used as green house glasses, I bought a small paperback booklet of his work which I can't now find.  Must go and have a rummage.

I can see why you say that Mono and you are of course right but it isn't untypical of what I was seeking to re create.

It reminded me too of SUTCLIFFE'S work John... I have a couple of copies of his prints ... It 's a well processed image and i really like  the oof background  which  gives it a real 3d feel.. Beautifully executed ... I'd have that  in a frame anyday ...

Finally doing a catch up John - love the processing on this one, suits the subject perfectly!
