Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
I've said it to some of the best photographers, and I'll say it to you, your photos are always a delight and I can't 'grade' you on Cool points, 'cause you're above that, okay it sounds a bit presumptuous of me to say that, but hell, you're not cool, you're fabulous!

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine...how can anyone go wrong with an image like this of a stranded ship on a beach :-) it doesn't get much more photogenic than this kind of scene for me.
@Alun Lambert: Thanks very much Alun!

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
Interesting and beautiful shot - my first thought was that this would be a scene from the Aral Sea!

@MadScientist: Thanks...there are many wrecks and abandoned ships around the NW coast of England but nothing as dramatic as the Aral Sea
@ManuelaR: Thanks very much Manuela!

Russ Devan from New Hanover, United States
Excellent image, Ian. With all the textures from the sand, the ripple marks in the sand, the sea grass, and the ship, I can feel and smell the beach while looking at this. That old ship is wonderful.

@Russ Devan: Hi Russ!....sometimes everything seems to go well with the camera but other days nothing seems to work...this was one of the better occasions.
@Ana Lúcia: Thanks very much Ana!
Anthony Lambert from Germany
Splendid shot.Once again you´ve hit the nail right on the head.Well done.

@Anthony Lambert: Hi Anthony...that's very kind of you. I'm really pleased that you like the photos
Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
It is a very good image of a very photographic subject. Nice tones as usual, Ian. There is something interesting about the scale of that ship. I don`t know if I would be able to explain it but it looks giant in the frame especially next to the row boat, but at the same time I think because of the way it`s processed it looks almost like a model ship, tiny toy. A still life shot...
4 Jun 2008 3:21pm
@Nataly: Hi Nataly!...perhaps tomorrow's photo will give a better scale to the boat than this one
@Ted: Cheers Ted!
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Looks so out of place, it seems that it got lifted out of the sea. I have to admit that I'm curious to see it in colour.
4 Jun 2008 4:49pm
@JoeB: Thanks...it's a strange sight isn't it.
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
It has that Noah's Ark look to it. Great find and photo.
4 Jun 2008 6:58pm
@Viewfinder: Hi Glenn...thanks!
Sérgio Martins from Felgueiras, Portugal
excelent shot. a great composition and preparation, well iluminated and the "story" that the photo tell'us. great work.
4 Jun 2008 10:01pm
@Sérgio Martins: Thanks very much Sérgio!
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
The little dinghy and the ladder shows that the boat isn't abandonned. When the tide is high she must be floating again. The textures on the hull seems to be rust though...
4 Jun 2008 10:57pm
@akarui: Thanks!....It would have to be a spring high tide to float this boat I think as I've never seen it with more than a foot or so of water around it.
Nocturama from Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain
Gran trabajo Ian, wonderful and fantastic shot!
5 Jun 2008 12:10am
@Nocturama: Thanks very much Nocturama!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Superb capture. Excellent angle and composition. I like the vastness in the land and sky. For a moment it makes me think of Noah's Ark. I did not read if someone has mentioned that.
5 Jun 2008 2:33am
@Barbara: Thanks Barbara!....I'm really pleased that you saw so much in this photo. I wanted to photograph at this point of low tide it because I think it looks rather surreal like that with no sign of water.
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Once again, you have landed a stunning shot.
5 Jun 2008 4:50am
@Michael Rawluk: Hi Michael...you're very kind with your comments. I'm really pleased that you like it that much!
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
