Trapped Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The skeleton of an abandoned rusted ship on Frazer island are slowly being swallowed by the sand. Its amazing how nature takes care of these things! This is a view from the porthole of the trapped ship...waiting to be eaten by the beach.

Hi Shannon, hope you dont mind me using you as my first Critique.. First off i think this picture is so like a work of art. Do you know Paul Klee, if not, look up a piece called "Captive" your picture reminds me of this. personaly i would have cropped a bit closer and darkend forground to black to give more of a masking effect... but apart from that Brilliant.

The point of view is quite unusual. The framing is excellent, even if not too original. I am glad you did not use fill in flash. It would have marred the effect.

Hello Shannon
A ship or boat shot down by the sea on the coast, is a spectacle.
A porthole from which one can portray the coast is exceptional.
Beautiful photos and congratulations for your travels.
