I like the dark still water.These wrecks draw me to them like a magnet. I have a dangerous compulsion to want to step onboard and look inside

Wonderful print. Evocative subject matter. Moody clouds that evoke a storm and suggest a storm caused the wreck in the first place. Great tonal range and I especially like the deep black seen inside the broken windows almost luring one inside.

Only agreement. 'Very strong composition. The scan was superb. The print is likewise. Beautifully done, Oscar.

Over time, wrecks become part of the landscape (or lakeside, or seaside). But this is still raw and new.

Love it, quite dramatic. I reckon that I could spend a day shooting that old trawler in the foreground.

Thank you! I think it's taken a bit too far but it was the only way to print it I could think of.

The contrast in the boat section is pretty low (used #5 and a slight touch of #00 to print this) and the sky was very bright in comparison, so I've printed it down a lot with #00. In retrospective I could have used reduced development to tame the contrast instead of using this method.
