Meishu Maru 38

A well known wreck near the Southern tip of Africa. Normally posted with glowing sunsets.........this is my take on the subject.

Andrew - I like where you have placed the boat in the frame and the long exposure works well with the clouds and water. I'm thinking a little more selective sharpening on the boat.

TFS,

Hey Andrew,
Sorry for the late reply.....Dave is away and Robert is swamped....so after a crazy weekend.....i can finally reply. I have seen this area a few times.....I think your take on it is fantastic!!! I may want a hair more room on the bottom for the rock.....but I love what the slow SS did to the water and the clouds....and the conversion works extremely well also! This one turned out great!

Very nice composition, Andrew, and great subject and scene for B&W. Nicely framed, and love the effect on the clouds and water. This is minor, but wanting the boat to stand out just a bit more, however, not exactly sure the best way to do that :S3:, and may not go along with your interpretation.

Andrew, this is fine art indeed. loved the comp and slow SS feel. I am with Roman on tad more space at the bottom. ....but as-is, a splendid splendid shot.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Andrew, beautifully framed and a lovely amount of movement in the clouds and water :5

[Andrew Aveley]

thank you for all the kind works........I did contemplate a bit more on the bottom but the scene did not allow for it due to some sharped rocks. I may add some canvas if i print this one :)

Beautifully executed image. The comp, tonal range, silky water, and the.... sky........wow!

thanks John :)
