November 2017

Well done for making it into the top 10. Just love this picture. Lighting is great, the sunset is generating a mystic atmosphere. Whilst a lot of other wrecks in this competition are somewhere between fully intact and completely stripped to bits one can only imagine what this vessle used to look like when it was riding through the waves. Just an amazing shot!

I have seen a variety of variations of this wreck beijg put forward in the contest but this is by far the most appealing for me. The ships position along the rule of third line is spot on, the dead space to its left gives it sufficient room to float into. You LE transition between tge waterscapr and the sky is perfect and the mirrored image of the wreck in the water is adding an extra level of mystery. Great shot!

Very well done to this winning shot. You made 1st place in this 'wreck' competition. Just like the composure and framing and the long exposure of clouds and waves gives the picture a mysterious and dramatic element. The clouds almost cast a halo around what was once riding through the waves. Well done and thank you for sharing this awsome shot.

Your Long Exposure just adds that dramatic effect which makes this picture so special. The composure / positioning of the object is spot on, the rocks in the front add that extra bit of depth to the shot. I would have probably tidied up the smaller ships along the horizon but like the rocks they add another layer of depth so your picture not just meets the rule of thirds but also the classical foreground, midground and background rule. Very well done!
