Hi Eric,

Amazing ruins at sunset time. It looks like the wreks of an old vicking vessel.

Hi Eric,

I absolutely love this image. I really like the foreground and awesome depth with that exquisite sky. It is nearly perfect for me with the small exception of your having let the hull hit the edge of the frame at the bottom. It's a small detail but for me it is really important visually.

Cheers!

Superb shot, I dont think this could be better - the depth of focus, the exposure, the composition, all exactly right. The glimmer of gold in the sky & the swirl of water around the boat just add to what is a rare moment of perfection.........well done Eric, TFS.

Hi Eric,

This is a great shot, very interesting subject and beautiful colours, depth and sharpness. Nice choice of exposure time to make the water wispy in the foreground which adds to the overall impact.

TFS,
Cheers

Hi Eric,

Excellent composition, colours and light. The movement of water around the wreck adds a special touch. Great depth with a strong, crisp foreground.

Hello Eric,
Very well done. The exaggerated perspective of the wide lens coupled with the depth of field from the stopped down lens make this a wall hanger. Composition and saturation are also first rate.
I have this lens and hope to find a landscape this dramatic to put it to good use.
Regards,
Greg

Hello Eric,

It could have been a masterpiece if the boat wouldn't have been cut (right down angle of the picture).
But it is a wonderful photo, well composed, with beautiful colors. I really like it.
Congratulations !

Masterful composition which makes a good use of the depth of field and of this charming coastal scenery at sunset. I like the warm colours and the good sharpness (maybe an HDR?).
The shipwreck looks like just like a Viking ship.
It would have been nice on your part to write something about it.
Best greetings,
Donato

Hello Eric,
A fantastic wide angle view of this decaying boat, brought in well matching colours. And you were there at the right moment when the water was reaching the wreck.
A pleasure to look at.
Very well done.

Hi Eric,
wow, fantastic composition of this irish beach. We literally plunge into the innards of the boat.
Moreover, the long time of exposure gives that great effect on the waves.
Good light and colors.

Hello Eric,
I like this well composed shot because of good composition, sharpness and colours. More, I love damaged ships and boats as a
metaphor of our life.
Have a nice day,
