Greetings, R.
Some info about the ship:
The S.S. Maheno was an Edwardian liner on the Tasman Sea crossing between New Zealand and Australia, and was used as a hospital ship by the New Zealand division of the Royal Navy during World War I. A landmark on 75 Mile Beach in Fraser Island is the shipwreck of the S.S. Maheno. The S.S. Maheno was originally built in 1905 in Scotland as a luxury passenger ship for trans-Tasman crossings. During the First World War the ship served as a hospital ship in the English Channel, before returning to a luxury liner. In 1935, the ship was declared outdated and on June 25th, 1935 the ship was being towed from Melbourne to Japan for scrap metal when it was caught in a strong cyclone. A few days later, on July 9th 1935 she drifted ashore and was beached on Fraser Island. During the Second World War the Maheno served as target bombing practice for the RAAF. The ship has since become severely rusted. Climbing on the shipwreck is not permitted.
I have decided to convert this into BW, just to enhance the overall atmosphere a bit. ;-)

Superb light on the boats textures and complimented by the great sky.D~M~K , 29.06.2008 at 19:47h
tones & textures are wonderfulIlhan Gunay , 29.06.2008 at 19:55h
technically very successful! slow shutterspeed softens the waves in front and increases the effect of the ship. B/W preference is also absolutely right. thank you for detailed information.Asha Karami, 29.06.2008 at 20:44h

For me the wreck is a bit too dominant. Would have put it more to the left and to show more of the beach. Not much.Radim Spitzer, 1.09.2008 at 1:17h
Rolf, Andrea: ....and don't you guys think that having the shipwreck as dominant as possible could have been intentional! ;-) Cheers, R.Luc Grollie, 1.09.2008 at 1:17h
strong pic, would love to see different POV's though...still great pro !!!
Andrea Se. , 1.09.2008 at 1:17h
@Radim: I'm sure the composition is like you intended it to be, but it's only my opinion and I would have planed the photo different for me. That doesn't mean everybody has to do it the same way. Photography is often only a matter of liking. Didn't want to offend youRadim Spitzer, 1.09.2008 at 1:17h
Andrea Se: ...don't get me wrong here, I respect your oppinion highly! I was just trying to explain myself bit closer..Greetings, R.
