Mirko Herzner from Germany
It's kind of strange to name this image beautiful... But it is. A beautiful sky, a lonely boat and an example of mankind's 'not-so-nice' sides... I also enjoy the composition here.

@Mirko Herzner: Thanks Mirko....one of the things I love about B&W photography compared to colour is the opportunity to add a little personal interpretation during the processing stage. I've only used traditional type darkroom techniques here such as 'dodging' and 'burning' and contrast enhancement but the process has certainly added drama to this image which wasn't so evident in the colour 'negative'.
Marie LC from Voiron, France
J'aime vraiment tout particulièrement les images que tu offres en ce moment Ian... elles me touchent beaucoup

@Marie LC: Thanks Marie, what a lovely thing to say.....I've still got a few more from this series to come yet.
@yz: Thanks yz!.....maybe the attraction of these scenes is universal (or is it just us :-)
Raj from London, United Kingdom
Thats gorgeous. The scene is given added drama by the BW.

Richard Hollins from London, United Kingdom
Lovely shot Ian. Great lead in to the boat, which is then capped by an excellent sky. A very nice black and white conversion too.

gavin hart from Gold Coast, Australia
Love the sky and the wide open space implied by the distant background. Great processing. B & W definitely suits this one.

Pavan Kaul from Mumbai, India
What a great image Ian! Simply wonderful on all counts...incidentally it was through you that I discovered AMINUS3...And I cant thank you enough for that! I just googled for photoblogs and there you were...on Aminus 3! I am unable to express all that blogging here has come to mean to me, and lack of space is just one of the reasons! Best and carry on the great work:)

@Didier DE ZAN: Thanks Didier!
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Amazing scene...I am really fascinated by the foreground, the detail and of course that old tire. I love the drama and treatment of the sky. Another stunning shot, Ian.

There's a tranquility and sublimeness in this shot one can't but admire.

hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
Ian, this is marvelous! Every element is up to your highest standard!!! What appeal to me most are the clarity, details of the foreground (the tire) and their rigorous interactions with the boat! Simply classic!
