I love crab floats - the repeating shapes and colors make for some wonderful photographs (I shot some here and here). I love the ropes in your shot, but wonder what a tighter crop would look like.

@Chris: Hey Chris - I completely agree. I had this image set up ahead of time and had wanted to replace it because of the crop. Never had a chance to get to this. Oh, well...

Ah brings back memories of the seafood on Fisherman's Wharf. Excellent capture Stephen, interesting array of colors and tones. A really beautiful composition of this SF crab boat.
