HI PHILIP,
Still think you are wrong, but as you say, you may like boats or you may not. somebody else may say the boat should be red not blue.

BLACK AND WHITE, NOT MY BEST SUBJECT, SO BE GENTLE WITH YOUR COMMENTS.

the best I can do at 11.00 at night

look at the boat after critique, it now looks unbalanced. I'll try one more thing on it to see if I can please both camps.
