Took this yesterday while waiting for the ferry at the Hook of Holland. The light was quite poor and it was drizzling with rain. This was an attempt to pick out something interesting on the far river bank. The image was virtually monochrome anyway apart from a thin strip of red on the tanker to the right so I de-saturated in PS.
Comments welcome. ISO200, 1/1250sec, f6.3 at 400mm.
Brian.

As you say, the image is very flat and lacking in contrast. Have you tried adjusting levels and/or curves in Photoshop or similar to blacken the blacks and whiten the whites.
This might work well if the foreground was much darker with the cranes, chimneys etc silhouetted against the grey of the sky.
Just my thoughts ..... Dave.
I love shots like this.
The chimney smoke blending into the clouds is fab. How about a close up on that sometime?
