Hello Atousa,
This photo is beautiful - almost like photographic poetry. It is simple, but all of the elements come together so perfectly. The silhouette of this ghost ship against the sunset is wonderful, and so are the calm waters around it. Thanks for the magical view. :-)

Hello Atousa
Ships has lots of stories to tell! A kind of mysterious atmosphere around this ship which stands out well against the warm colors of the sunset and the darker one of the sea. I also like the peaceful feeling, even though it is a tourist attraction. The only thing is the boat, which is too centred :)
Cheers

Hi Atousa
A pleasing photograph of this monolith. Catching the setting sun behind it adds some drama to the scene.

Salam Atousa,
The light and colours are amazing and along with the silhouette of the ship and the texture of the sea produces a very attractive image. I am not sure if having centred the ship was the best idea, but it is just a detail.
I wouldn't call a shipwreck a 'natural phenomenon', but I agree that it is very unusual that the ship stood up so all these years. I wouldn't imagine that it is a wrecked ship.
Regards, José.

Belle photo ce bateau pris de façon spéciale, pas habituelle,ce qui nous le présente sans profondeur, et notre attention est attirée par cet effet lumineux de ce soleil masqué, très bel effet bien pensé.Acun éblouissement, belle aura, jolie ombre qui se détache bien.

Amitiés Thomas

Salam Atousa. Very evocative shot full of mystery, colour and poetic light.The exposure was managed most successfully, creating a strong image. Regards. Klaudio.
P.S.-I just saw a film, The Kite Runner" (Set in Afghanistan, but filmed in Kashghar/China)and it had an actress named Atousa.

Hi, Atousa -

A haunting shot and a great story to go with it. Great light management; I just wish you had put the ship a little bit off center. Well, on second thought, maybe not.

Best,
Dan

Wonderful set of colors here Atousa, really dreamy effect, I like particularly the texture and tones of the sea. The ship of course gives it the interesting perspective. A pity that it is centered. In such a composition it looks much better to put the main focus center on the side...Nice detail of that seabird...

Hi Atousa
The luminosity and olors are excellent in thiss fine backlight compo. The centering of the boat works also well in my opinion... Sharp and clear, interesting subject.

Hola Atousa,
Una bella toma con el sol escondido tras el berco. Estupendo contraluz con bonitos colores. Hubiera estado mejor si el barco no estuviera centrado.

Salam Atousa
Fantastic! The sight of the silhouetted ship looming like a ghost is fantastic. Like how you used the ship to cover the sun & also like the shimmering water, reflecting the sunset colours. Centering is not classical mode of framing, but IMO works well here. Good work!
Best Regards

Hi Atousa.

Despiste I'm not really fond of the pictures with the main subject centered...this is an exception.

The light was....a pleasure!

Really impressive. The ship seems to be enormously big, though from this photo I really can´t guess it size. The central placement of the ship seems to emphasize it´s size even more. Actually, the ship could remind the Noah´s ark.
Nice colors. Maybe I´d go for duotone/sepia here.
Best regards,
Adrian
