The Front Part of the Boat

I am not a good sailor or pirate. Arghh! Matey! This photo has some issues but I can't quite grasp what they are. I love the textures. The triangular composition grounds the picture. I think the rope is the problem. It looks posed. What is the little white circle? I guess I can use this photo as source material for a watercolor. Ha!

Railroad Bridge

I took this picture on the way up(?)down the river to the Mymensingh Agricultural University to visit the Botanical Gardens there. I am entranced by brick in it's many stages of life. The contrast of the complementary vegetation growing from it became a "happy accident" of a focal point. The curvilinear lines of the "ancient" brick also contrasts with the rectilinear lines of the relatively modern bridge. I don't like the washed out sky but I have a feeling that it could be rectified using the "curves" adjustment in Photoshop. If I get around to fixing it I will post it. On the way back up(?)down river, there were people sitting on the pillar. I think I've found a new getaway.
