Photographer’s Note

The Maheno, the most famous of the Fraser Island wrecks, was driven ashore just north of Happy Valley during a cyclone in 1935. Once a well-known trans-Tasman liner, the Maheno was bound for a Japanese wrecking yard when she met her stormy end. Today the hull lies slowly deteriorating in the harsh salt environment, about 10 kilometres north of Happy Valley.

Mavelous concept, details, and framing.

Nice catch Alaettin. It causes me to stop and think about what must surely be hundreds of wrecks in far away remote places. I know that there are wrecks in my own area, but most of them are in the water and don't permit close inspection, unless you're in a boat.

Nice shot. Very sharp with great colors.

renkler ve netlik çok başarılı... enkaz geminin ıslak kum alandaki yansımasını fotoğrafı daha geniş bir açı veya biraz daha uzak mesafede yer alarak çekip kare içine almak belki daha etkileyici olabilirdi...

This wrecks definitely has the beauty of rust. Good colors.
As for the composition, a wider angel might work better (the frame is a bit too tight IMO)

Even if this wrech ship is quite impressive, I prefer your other view taken from another angle. The deterioration of the ship is more visible in the other shot.

However I did a little workshop and tried to give this shot a corrosive effect.

Bu ndan daha iyi nasıl anlatılır ki yaslnızlık, terkedilmişlik, çöküş. Tebrik etmek istiyorum, ellerinize sağlık.

Renklerin doygunluğu ve yansımaların getirdiği gerçeklik çok hoşuma gitti, teebrikler.

Interesting shot indeed.

I really like the cropping and colors... also the waves are caught in a good moment.

Mehaba Alaettin - the sky looks outstanding, and the position of the wreck is great, perjhaps it would be inteersting to zoom out a little more to see more of the reflections in the wet sand and also to avoid the wreck touching the edge of the frame at right.

Hi Alaettin,

It's a nice shot, I like this big old boat on the beach, the brillance of the water and the beautiful cloudy sky.

Regards,
Stéphanie.

Wow! I like this composition, Alaettin! It shows nice colours and sharpness, specially on the rust. Nice POV! It´s amazing to see a wreck laying in the middle of the beach...
All the best!

Çok güzel bir çalışma olmuş bu, gerçekten tebrik ederim. Burada belki de geniş açı lazımdı, gökyüzü ve denizi daha fazla görebilseydik muhteşem olacaktı. Ama bu haliyle de mükemmel. Görüşmek üzere

Olá Alaettin,
Beautifull my friend. The composition, the pov and the colors are just and outright beautifull. Interesting subject and a dramatic use of wide angle that works a treat. Fortunate to have such an attractive sky.
