Hi David, nice shot but it would be a lot more meaningful for TE with a simple note :) I see the medium is color but did you PP into b/w? anyways, very nice effect, relays the "sunken, decaying giant" feeling very well, TFS. Betty
Hi, the photograph is just great BUT, as Betty mentioned, Trek earth is about teaching and learning. Teaching something about the world, and learning about photography. Definitelly, there should be a note saying something about the shipwreck, its history - even very briefly.
Nice debut!
