Loving the crane pic!
Thank you both. The crane is no longer in use, the small dock doesn't receive boats any more, but the crane is useful to add interest to a photo.
My photo's are not up to the standard of some of the more experienced photographers, I have a small point and shoot Cannon ixus 185 which is adequate for the blog. I am not familiar with complicated editing programmes, I just use the crop for getting rid of dead space around the edges, tweak the colour slightly, and tweak the contrast to sharpen.
