Not Here 93 Posted October 31, 2014 Beautiful b/w rendering of this iconic boat/beach scene. The tones, lines and textures are superb... Mike Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted October 31, 2014 Thank you ! The local council must have put a preservation order on these old relics that are strewn along the beach in Dungeness because they attract many tourists who come for the very fresh fish and these surreal and eccentric 'objects of art'.The environment there transports you to another era. Best regards, DGV. Link to comment

dgv 1 Posted October 31, 2014 It stopped being a boat and now it became a 'time sculpture'...some artistic soul left it there on the beach, a reminder of a bygone era.. Thank you for viewing and commenting. Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted October 31, 2014 Thank you my friend! You mentioned the point of view...I had to lie down flat for this shot...fortunately there wasn't any tar on the shingle..-:). Regards. Link to comment
setsail728 15 Posted November 2, 2014 Beautiful portrait of a worn out veteran of the sea left to fend for itself. Perfect choice of black, white and especially gray for this photo. The low angle makes for a great perspective and the tight crop works marvelously here. Excellent shot!! Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 264 Posted November 4, 2014 Great classic B&W simple, but very strong composition, Dimitris! Best regards PDE Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted November 7, 2014 Thank you very much for your comment. This is the kind of picture that leads to a lot of contemplation. I went for a tight crop as I was attracted by the texture of the boat. I am uploading another shot but I chose the one above. Warm regards. Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted November 7, 2014 Many thanks my friend... And like us this boat goes back a long long way... Link to comment
alfbailey 2 Posted November 10, 2014 One thing is apparent in both images immediately and this is you seem to have captured the essence of the sea, the mood and the air. I think this is mostly because of the clarity and textures which almost appear tangible. My personal preference (although I love both images) is for the second image you posted here. It has that extra space where the rope lay, and it seems to invite me to pause there and ponder the scene in more detail. Excellent work Dimitris! Best Regards Alf Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted November 11, 2014 Thank you very much for your extensive and meaningful critique. I agree with you but the angle from which the photo was taken shows more of the black tar on the lower right of the boat and as I wanted to emphasize the texture of the vessel I chose the one above. Keep well my friend. Best regards. Link to comment
