I've tried, but just can't quite adapt to the color of the sky like this and can't help wonder what this would look like post-processed differently.
Still a cool shot regardless!

I don't like the seemingly fake color top left.

nice shot

Highly emotive subject that has been processed with care. The colouring gives a greater feeling of desolation and finality. Well Done

This is a very powerful shot, but I do not care for the purple sky.

not bad, but the purple is over the top IMHO, sorry :-)

Good to have the ship on the thirds line to emphasize it otherwise it wouls get lost amid the framing of the strong rocks and coastline. Nice line of crashing waves drawing you eye further into the frame. I'm not sure I like the purple sky - may add to the feeling of wreckage, but it distracts me.

nice

Purple sky doesn't look natural for the appearent time of day. Nice capture though

contrast is great but it take away from something else
01/15/2007 02:38:27 PM
I like the composition and the captured detail however the colouring seems a bit weird.

The purple hue doesn't work a whole lot for me, but the photo is incredible. Rocks are also a bit too dark. I wish I saw more details. Great subject.

Good picture and composition, I'm just not sure for your choice of the sky color.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A bit too contrasty and your subject (the ship) seems a little to uninvolved in the scene. I'm sorry to say that really don't like purple skies like this and it does nothing for your scene. I would probably have made this a black and white to deliver for more evocation of mood.

This is such an amazing composition -- and a stunning, dramatic scene! The lighting, focus! Flawless! I just wish the sky wasn't hot pink. But I still love it!

Beautiful purples 9

Colours are way too unnatural looking for my taste
01/12/2007 12:39:33 PM
I like the colours and the image as a whole, but the foreground is a bit overbearing...another angle perhaps??? 7
