Tony .. Once more, I wish I have your deep seeing sense in each particular scene and have the ability to incarnate it as you do.

Robert, Bill and Museeb;

Thanks for your strong support of this image. I am happy you like it.

This was taken on a deserted and beautiful beach which is called Hangman's bay  just walking distance from Charlestown the capital of Nevis. Perhaps they used to hang pirates in this area many moons ago - who knows.

This wreck has been removed recently. I was back there a year ago looking to use it as part of my images and sadly it was gone.

Even though these birds are quite small in the image, they are brown pelicans which are very common in both St.Kitts and Nevis - not easy to photograph unless you have a very strong lens.

Here is what wikipedia has to say about brown pelicans;

The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is a small pelican found in the Americas. It is one of the best known and most prominent birds found in the coastal areas of the southern and western United States. It is one of only 3 pelican species found in the Western Hemisphere. The Brown Pelican is only one of the two pelican species which feeds by diving into the water.

The Brown Pelican the smallest of the eight species of pelican, although it is a large bird in nearly every other regard. It is 106–137 cm (42–54 in) in length, weighs from 2.75 to 5.5 kg (6.1 to 12 lb) and has a wingspan from 1.83 to 2.5 m (6.0 to 8.2 ft). Through most of its range, the brown pelican is an unmistakable bird. Like all pelicans, this species has a very large bill, 28 to 34.8 cm (11 to 13.7 in) long in this case, with a gular pouch on the bottom for draining water when it scoops out prey.[2] The head is white but often gets a yellowish wash in adult birds. The bill is grayish overall in most birds, though breeding birds become reddish on the underside of the throat. The back, rump, and tail are streaked with gray and dark brown, sometimes with a rusty hue. In adult pelicans, the breast and belly are a blackish-brown and the legs and feet are black.

Timeless image. Could be from a few centuries ago!

I like this very much.

I like the diagonal positioning of the birds. Great shot!

Tony, I find something very compelling about old rusty things....in particular ship wrecks.  I like your composition and boat placement, as well as the coloration.  Beautiful.  I find your horizon a bit uneven.....just a tad, but enough that I notice.
