Description
Created and posted back in 2005.
USS Kidd (DD-661), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who died on the bridge of his flagship USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Kidd was the first US flag officer to die during World War II, and the first American admiral ever to be killed in action. A National Historic Landmark, she is now a museum ship, berthed on the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

this is a significant variation---you've angled the horizon (with diagonals which make this a much more abstract image), and you've added that huge round circle (which makes this almost Japanese---not because of the sun on the Japanese flag, but because of the sun in traditional Japanese prints, etc, where the sun or moon are huge and looming, and they become an abstract part of the whole). You've pinked this up quite a bit, and you have several pinks; and they give a very introspective feel to the image. Considering this is a famous ship, and that these ships were once at war, your visionary treatment shows a deep sensitivity to the memory that lives on after they were retired (or destroyed): Like maybe these great vehicles are still out there, in spirit of course, guarding the sea where no one sees them. The subject of a tale...Wonderful image, Harry.
