Description


The CGC Diligence moors up right in the heart of downtown Wilmington, NC on the Cape Fear River and is capable of performing any of the missions that white hulled Coast Guard Cutters traditionally perform; ranging from alien migrant interdiction operations (AMIO) and drug interdiction missions down in the Caribbean, fisheries protection of the Atlantic seaboard, or search and rescue anywhere in between. (Wikipedia) The sun had just pushed up over the horizon and gave the river grass a golden glow, which I decided to feature using selective coloring. I tried out a High Pass method to "sharpen" the photo -- a technique picked up in the Photography Forum.

Terrific shot! I agree that your use of selective color is excellent and really enhances this photo! My sister has just retired from the Coast Guard after 21 years of service, I'm very proud of her!
