This version is visibly stronger and more interesting, Ian! I like to see how you strive for perfection by paying attention to every tiny detail. Well done!

@Nataly: Thanks Nataly....it annoys me when I know that I could have done better with a particular photo that I've taken. On this one the only difference between this and the previous image is the time of day and therefore the direction of the light, plus the sun was stronger on this particular shot.
@Marie Le Corre: Thanks Marie!
Paolo from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy
I almost get the feeling to see a dinosaur skeleton, something that brings me in the past.
This photo it's just like a lovely time machine, it's terrific !

@Paolo: Thanks Paolo...it reminded me too when I saw it of the skeleton of a dinosaur in a museum!
Sharon from Brooklyn, United States
Fabulous. Such lovely clarity. Almost looks 3d

@Sharon: Thanks Sharon....I played around with the contrast and shadow intensity to get the image like this. This 10-20 lens from Sigma is very could at achieving depth in photos.
@Ted: Thanks Ted!
By the way, I've got some images of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the two River Severn bridges coming up over the next few days that I hope you'll like as you're the one who inspired me to try taking photos of them with this great one of yours: http://ted.aminus3.com/image/2008-05-28.html
@Anthony Lambert: Thanks Anthony!

Tel un squelette de baleine échoué sur la plage...

@Jean-Benoît Maréchal: Thanks!...that's more or less what I thought too when i saw it except I thought it looked like a dinosaur skeleton rather than a whale.
Shun from Mühlheim am Main, Germany
Great photo. Perfect picture with sharpeness, light, motive and a nice b/w work.

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
A skeletal gem, Ian. The spot-on tonal detail across the many textures and surfaces give this image great power.

I love the shadow in this one and the sky looks great with the gradient. I must say the angle on the other one had more impact but this one is better.

You seems to have a big collection of wreck in UK... Beautiful.

Cheryl from Texas, United States
yes, your talent for details has paid off in this version, good work!

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
Well, as a respond to your answer... That`s not all. The light has played a huge part on this one. But there is the space, there is much more air around the boat which lets the viewer breath easier.
Good job! Thahkn you for your kind comments and support!

I agree - my first thought was that it is a skeleton haha.... what a great composition and the dramatic sky just adds some mystery, wonderful photo!
