Very nice picture Pete. The mono conversion suits this one to a tee.

You said you wanted a different pic of the Ark Royal- looks like you managed. Superb, Pete; everything just comes together here. If you’d done a sketch of how you’d want the perfect waving flag to look, this would be it.

A classic B&W from you Pete, I love these. Great tones and contrast with just the right amount of lighting on the flag and the girl’s face. I’m wondering what you were stood on though. Maybe would have liked a bit more separation between the girl, flagpole and (Liver?) building perhaps but you’d probably be in the drink before you got it.

I really like this one, so many good elements to it: the crewmember, the flag, the view along the river. Well done
