Despite an injured foot, I managed to walk the entire length of the Seaport and took a great many pictures. These are some of them. As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
All were taken with the Sigma 10-20 mm lens mounted on my Nikon D7100. Most were with an f-stop of f/5.6, ISO 100 and 1/320th to 1/200th of a sec. All were handheld. You have to love this lens!

Very well done! The first in this set is much better than the one of the Morgan you posted the other day; this time you didn't chop off the tops of the mast, and the ship is floating level; on the last set 'she' seemed to be listing.
I sympathize with the "chopped off masts" situation! I've been photographing boats (mostly sailing vessels) for more years than I care to remember and still occasionally do it. We (photographers in general) concentrate so much on the hull and cabin works that we forget to look at the top of the frame before we 'click' (:<((. If you are trying to show the detail of some specific item, it is generally ok to just frame that subject and what gets cut off is ok, but in this example try not to only lose the last foot or so; it always makes the viewer wonder what was there.
Again they are great photos of a great place to visit--nice and sharp and you certainly had a couple of good days.

Thanks all for your compliments and critique. I overlooked that the entire mast should have been included. Oops! I appreciate the comment on that. Sometimes I get tunnel vision.
