Ivana,thank you for your wonderful comment.

This has been shot on colour negative film,which has now been faded with time and scanned at home.

Seeing that I couldn't restore the original colours,I decided to convert into B&W.

Then I gave it a try through Highlight and Shadows technique,and after that I did some hand coloration through PS.All these multiple jpeg savings and size conversions had their effect in quality,which is being reduced in every step I make.

Anyway,I'll give it one more try if you think it's worth it!

Take a look at the original.

good morning my friend, from the magical land of Greece. What I find special about this image is that non descript rock this poor boat is resting on. It is part of Crete, and for me that makes it special. Today I go to a dear friends 60th birthday, shall return tomorrow and meet you for a quiet chat and perhaps a bit of lunch on Gavdos. All the best.....roger

I wish you a happy weekend.Have a nice time!

My first thought was that of a beached whale. I imagine a dimming red eye and a mouth agape. This calls up feelings of sadness in me, although I like it very, very much.

Thanks for view

 

great capture, perfectly done

This is not posted as a sign of sudden manic depression or a swing in the photographer's mood.

A wreckage has always been a favourite subject among many photographers.

Besides being a VERY old capture,it can bring reminiscences of wrecked relationships of the distant past.There are maybe some who can wipe the slate clean ,you know better,but it's not the case here.

I really hope my next submission will cheer up things a bit!

I am very happy we've met here.

Public presentations should be any photographer's target!

Very good, I like the angle and tones, very well done, PhoS Sant.

Yes Photi give it one more try, at least. Regards Dimitris,

death of a hero - i like it .

I like your perspective. Its not a sad image for me. To me, it sparks the imagination.

I somehow missed this fine shot when you posted it. I like it very much. Regards...

Excellent light and composition.Regards.Janusz.
