Sable Island shipwreck
In January while on Sable Island I came across a shipwreck that was exposed albeit for a week or so. I took quite a few photos but didn't seem to be able to capture a strong relationship between the sea and the wreck. I really wanted this because the sea is of course the reason for the shipwreck being there. I also wanted to capture a sense of 'spookiness' since I felt that while walking around the wreck. Imagining the sea men that died as the ship hit the island.

Oooh very neat. Nice colours too. How slow was your shutter speed? You got the neat ghostly (not ghastly) effect, I think.

This is a great images. The ethereal effect of the slow shutter speed makes for a very abstract and gentle image, reminiscent of that Hugh Milsom (Milson?) who talked at CCC a year or so ago. The cropping is excellent too, with the soft bands of the sea receeding to a pale blue. At the bottom left, there's a nice gentle streak of wash, revealling some different tones in the sand.
Excellent work. You should try to sell this one if not doing so already.
