On the Beach II

I suppose this could be classed as a 'Vehicle' but it isn't going

anywhere at the moment. All comments welcome!

This is a beautiful shot, but I think I like the uncropped one better.

well, yes, a vehicle it is:-) I really like this close up with the boat that seems to be coming out of the frame toward us. Great texture in the ol' boat.

Thanks Jim. I took a number of shots of the old boat and thought this one looked interesting.

 

Thanks Paula. Definitely used to be a vehicle anyway!

i love shots of beached boats. great detail and the effect of the anchor rope as plum line is wonderful. at first i thought the background boats should go, but then i think of them as part of the story and they work. regards, J.K.

Thanks JK. They are interesting aren't thay? It was the detail as much as anything that I was after here.

Fantastic details, exciting close-up of this boat. Your crop makes a nice diagonal, and that rope from the LL corner is a nice extra.

Colin,original how you bring it close.Fascinating how here the boat,gets all the attention without wondering around .the details .robes and colors very good expression.If i had the choice,i don't know wich one i would choose to hang on the wall.

Colin, if it was mine, I would have added it to the previous one thread as a closer look of the same scene. For me it needs a bit more "breathing space"....I do love the boat with its dangling ropes.

Thanks Carsten, Alix and Pnina. Glad you liked the detail which was what I was attracted to. Pnina, I remember you have some nice 'old boat' shots too :-). I thought the detail and 'in your face' feel to this made it interesting enough to stand on its own.

I like less this one. Even if it means approach the boat in order to see the details, I would have took a very closer shot, like this for example. What do you think ?

Henri, good idea! That really is 'in your face'. I'll try that one when I see my next wreck.

Colin,

here

 

Lets open a museum for old beauties...

Ah, yes! that is the one. I remember it. At the location I shot thie photo above there were other boats there but too far away to include in these shots.

I like the tightness of the shot. It's different and appealing to me. I also like what Henry did with the even tighter crop, but the original posting is very good, imo.

The sky is great - you do well with skies that I tend to find challenging. I like the boat ... but it's a little too close/tight for my taste ... I think the other shot is more to my liking.

The wide angle lens put to fantastic use, Colin. It pays to dare getting that close. Beautiful light, as well. I just love it.

Beautiful composition. I like it a lot. Congrats !

Colin, I think the thight framing good enough as another image of the same subject. Very Nice capture of feeling Blue.

I love the composition, textures, color and I like it from any angle, but my favorite would be this shot....

Stunning job Coline, wonderfull image....

 

..darko

Thanks everyone!

Good shot Colin! nobody suggested a B&W yet?

Colin,

 

Nice shot but not as good as some of your classics.

there is something about this view that draws me to it, I have posted a couple in the past. But the photo just never has IT.....not sure why.

I like it, good subject, like the flaky paint but something is missing.....

Beautiful viewpoint. Strong diagonal composition give more...power to this image. Regards.
