MV Elise approaching Newhaven swing bridge - 19 11 2019

MV Elise approaching Newhaven swing bridge - 19 11 2019
I have taken very few photographs in the past three months. I happened to be near the swing bridge when the road traffic lights started flashing and the horns sounded to warn that the road would close and the bridge would open to allow this ship to pass downstream. Very few ships call at the North Quay these days, so I hurried up the bridge and took a few shots with my compact camera, which lives in my backpack.

Fine composition. The ship in context. The red spot on the right seems to help the eyes take in the whole view at once.

Thanks, John. As usual you give me credit for compositional strategies that I don't consciously work on. I take a series of shots in a situation like this and then pick the one I think looks best. I must agree that a spot of red, or even a red spot, does liven up a shot. Happy New Year.
