This is another of the tall ships in Baltimore Harbor for the 200-year anniversary commemoration of the War of 1812 (and the Star Spangled Banner lyrics).
----
This is a DD entry. Used OnOne software to add clouds and several texture overlays.
----
A black and white version is displayed below. The conversion was done on the OnOne-treated version, but used Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
----
The original is also shown.

  Wow Michelle! I thought this was just a shot taken of a Photograph hanging on the wall of an Art Gallery! You've created a wonderful result with a masterful treatment. On a side note, I would love to be up your way for this "Tall Ships" photo opportunity.

  That is so neat the way that you show us the original and then the look with your creative work. You definitely added some drama to the look. What a thrill to be able to see these old ships. Amazing and beautiful look my friend.

  Having all those sailors in the rigging is
such a unique presentation. There is something about the tall ships that makes the heart stand still for just a moment. Wonderful images, Michelle.
