paddle-wheeler

this hardly qualifies as a scenic image of Vancouver, but I couldn't resist taking the shot...the tour boat, MV Constitution, is the only paddle-wheeler in local waters, moving along at a modest 6 knots, or 11 km/hr (6.9 mph), an ideal speed for photography

on a technical note, with the strong colours this may look heavily processed, but it isn't...it was 2 stops underexposure, and a touch of re-brightening, that did the trick

Two musical references spring to mind...Big wheel keeps on turning, and I see Red by Split Enz. Colours look fine David

Not only well exposed, but good choice of shutter speed to capture the water droplets. I like the strong color contrasts.
