Shipwrecked

Love it Mel, you can almost hear the rush of the water & I love the remains of Dicky…they remind me of teeth : )

Incredible Mel!

Getting up at stupid-o-clock certainly gets you the results… Love the foreground interest.

The exposure is perfect what a wonderful scene. The sun is amazing. Great work Mel

Always loved shipwrecks – such beautiful human failure.
The wreck, not the photo.
The photo’s beautiful…
...but…
...fuck it – you get the idea.
Nice work.

wondered where you were – at least you have a good excuse… great pic!

Phwoar – look at that light & the shadows & the water movement & the composition. Bloody marvelous

WOW and double WOW…this is awesome. An instant fave.

Superb, quite superb!

Stunning view

The horizon line is SOOO straight and strong and I love how we can see the ship which looks so small, but is probably enormous! Lovely colours and perfect comp!!

This is absolutely stunning. Perfect in every way. LOVE it!

wonderful as usual Mel, ...I love that heavy sky!

Oh Mel,
Those shadows cast by the Ribs are sensational!!!

Love it Mel! :D

Wow!!! This is outstanding, wonderful exposure, stunning shot!

Great shot! Worth having wet pants hey Mel… results speak for themselves!

You do rushing water so perfectly – wonderful motion and light…the shadows across the brightest part of the water are to die for!

Love this shot Mel!

well worth the wet daks beautiful image

Ah stunning what more can one say, love it !

this is another awesome photo

Stunning, love everything about this from the rays of the sun to the movement of the water.

This is stunning :)

Amazing Mel and thanks for giving the shot details. I always learn heaps when I see how the shot was created – great job!

sheer brilliance. magnicient. you are truly the master.

Awww Mel it has everything…Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous…..Now off to college you go..No excuses….

Wow, whats missing ? I don’t think anything….this is beautifully fantastic and perfect !

Beautiful captuure!!

Wet daks – worth it – this is simply wonderful. You are brilliant!

Beautiful photo Mel, Well worth getting to the location at 2am!!

One of your best…I have a fondness for Dicky Beach…thanks for intensifying my memory of it

WOW, love the shadow of the wreck in the whitewater. Great image and love the title.

Well worth the wet daks.

Woohoo, sensational

Fantastic image Mel

Excellent work Mel

A superb shot great sky and colours , wonderful.

Simply gorgeous

Superb capture !

Beautiful Capture and Composition!!!!!!

Great shot Mel. Love the exposure, the streams of sunlight and the shadows of the wreck. Well worth the early start.

STUUUUNNNNING!!!!

Wonderful shot, love the exposure and movement :))

Love the water movement and shadows! Excellent!

So many comments in such little time. A truly excellent shot! Love the suns reflection and the shadows. Brilliant

well worth getting up for… lovely and misty!

Beautiful image Mel, love the long lines of teh shadows and the soft water – and thanks for the shot details. I’d have skived off college for this too!

Stunning capture. Love the light.

Simply outstanding !!

Totally worth the ridiculeous start (that makes stupid o’clock look like a lie in) as this is just breathtaking Mel. The low light and lengthy shadows of the stacks pulls you straight into the shot.

The water movement is the most fascinating for me, especially in the foreground before the soft white waves intermingle with the stacks.

The clouds in the top right contain so much detail too and this is one image that definately warrants hitting the view larger button on.

Now…2am is crazy speak…I don’t think I could do it…maybe 3…4 is ok…but 2..!!
Awesome shot but Mel…love the flow, brilliant exposure and that wide lens is special..!

This is outstanding Mel!

I love the lighting and shadows on the water. Really well done Mel! Too bad about the wet daks
:-)

Love the way shadows are projected….on the water…well captured.

Totally worth the early (ridiculous!) start – great perspective, love the light, everything works together in this one Mel.

Love this Mel. I feel lie I’m being sucked in with the water.

A wonderful shot Mel. Great foreground detail.

WOW.

Totally wet daks but totally worth it. Great stuff. Thanks too for taking the time to share the setup.

Mick.

This is beautiful Mel, love those shadows.

what more can be said, brilliant

What more can I add?
One of your best for certain. Wonderful how those shadows from the frames are coming towards me. Exposure time is perfect. Well, everything is perfect. Well worth getting up so early for.

Very beautiful work Mel, great series. Well done and thanks for sharing your tech details.

Superb….........The Master!!!

I am not entirely sure what “daks” are but if getting them wet is what it costs to get shots like this then let me know where I can get them from. Amazing work here!

Absolutely stunning.

This looks like the giant bottom jaw of some mystical sea monster. did you know it’s on the pax mosaic ?

Simply stunning!!

So cool

love the shadows from the wreck amongst all other excellent aspects of this shot.

Sensational image Mel, love the shadows on the water!

No surprise you’ve sold this stunner Mel – also congrats on OE – I’ve heard it’s nigh on impossible to get accepted on OE so that’s a real credit to the quality of this image. Interesting to see that it got so many sales via OE as well. Thanks for sharing this.

this is really splendid…a whole compilation of great photographic elements coming into play here. the light and shadow are my favorite. really well done.

Wow! I wish I had landscapes like that around here to capture, I’d be out there every day!

i would give anything to have a wreck like this anywhere close to where i live. It reminds me of ribcage of some giant animal (morbid i know) but really cool :)

Yeah..im in Perth. There are a lot of the coast, but submurged and if they are on the shore…they are pretty much gone now. Rottness is good, but I don’t get over there much, but when I do, the conditions arent suitable :P I’ll get some shots one day :)

Wonderful – the shadows & light are utterly enchanting.

Excellent shot!

Awesome!!!

Great shot Mel i especialy love the long shadow lines!
