Captured this image in December at Cape Aghulus, the Southern most point of Africa.

Image blended from 3 exposures.

Nikon D3
14-24 2.8
Foreground Exposure 128 seconds at F/13 at ISO 200

Loved the light on the rocks coming from the horizon. I was suprised at the light captured, because it was well after sunset and no real light was visible at the time.

Hi Mark,I like everything about this image. From the soft light on the foreground rocks to the leading line out to the wreck.A pleasing softness in both the water and the sky. Nice job in handling the HDR along with beautiful color. Well done!!

Mark,
I agree with Dave...The eye moves around very easy...Nice color and contrast...The shipwreck placement might break the rule of the thirds but it works great in your image...This image shows how composition does not always follow the rules!

Hey Mark,
I agree with others.....you hit this one out of the park! Very nicely done!

I agree with the comments above -- I also like the fact that the orange sky on the left side of the image only leads your eye from left to the wreck also. Beautiful image...

Hi Mark, I like the comp, with the rocks leading ones eye to the wreck. Brilliant colours, and love the softness of the water. Well captured.
