I like it. Is good that you use b/w to show it.

THe B&W works well here, and I like how the ship stands out (not in the fog/gloom/rain). Nice mood and very nice photo.

Nice photo, Vincent. I also like the fact that the ship stands out from the rest of the phot and it is well placed in the shot. Excellent composition.

Thank you for your time and comments everyone! Black and white seemed to be the best option because the only colors visible were on the boat and everything around it was just overwhelmed by all shades of gray. I'm glad you liked this photo.
