Thanks for all the feedback. The photo is pretty much a straight shot. I cropped and desaturated.

As for if it fits the challenge, the ideas is that the ship is anchored due to the fog. So the implication is that the ship's crew is "passing time" waiting for the fog to lift.

The shot was at the Bonnet Carrie Spillway in Norco, Louisiana on the Mississippi river.

The bird is an egret. I tried to get a closer shot but he wasn't happy with that and flew away.

I agree that I probably should have taken the stick out but I didn't notice it until I saw it in the comments. That is why I joined this site was for the feedback.

This was my first real submission and it was very exciting. I think I'll try it again. :-)

Thanks again for taking the time to critique this photo and for all the positive comments.
