Hi Michael
With your framing and title, are you sure you didn't scan a postcard here ;-)
In anycase the colours and contrasts are pretty amazing. Nice low down POV and reflection on the sand.

Hello Michael ,
really dramatic and eye catching image.
I have seen other images of this ship but
You did a very good composition, cropping and framing too.
I would have removed the pole with the sign on the right too.
Well done and tfs,
regards,
Alberto.
