Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: Zanzibar
Date: Jul 28, 2008
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/60 sec
Galleries: Nature, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

 Almost straight from camera, tiny bit of brightens and resize. That's it, no crop no color fix, it was just that beautiful.

I have never submited a les photoshoped photo in my life. But I love this shot more than any other shot, it has a bit of my life so nicely framed in it.

I sure am scared putting this photograph up for judging here, it means so much to me and my heart sure will be broken if it gets shot down so I am crossing my fingers hoping you all see the same thing as I do in this shot.

Lovely tranquil seascape. Focus looks a bit soft though.

Nice dark shot. I like the small boats.

Nice concept but too dark to have us really "see" on the boats

tough shot if you ask me, The boats are not completely still and you have to use a long exposure to capture at such low light conditions. Try pumpin up the colors and the contrast slightly to make this more interesting.

Soft colours, good composition, but seems a bit underexposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would have scored this higher had the boats been a little sharper and the color bumped up a bit.

a bit too dark i think

Classic belt of Venus. I like the star detail on the left, but there is an overall "muddy" quality to this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This photo could use a little more saturation.

good timing, but it lacks detail

 03/13/2009 05:35:38 AM
a bit too dark, but picture has a lot of potential with some post processing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:08:59 PM
Whole image feels rather dark which detracts from this, in my opinion.
 03/12/2009 05:10:14 PM

This has a somber feeling to it in my eyes, the darkness of it and the solitude of the boats.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:30:15 AM
overall too dark IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:52:47 AM
A little to flat for me with the colors but nice subject.

In the vastness that is time, on an expanse of sea, two creaking old hulks appeared on the still waters. In ages past, they had been full of life and activity, but those days were gone. Now, they simply floated there, a skeletal memory of the past that would never again be.

In the background, roaring past, was the evidence of the now, and the people on board that vessel gasped as they gazed towards the bare and decrepit hulls. They gasped in fear and awe, for as they looked, the boats seemed to waver on the breeze, and become ghostly and ethereal. Then, like a puff of mist, they were gone, the memory of their past gone with them.

The sea returned to the time that is now, and once again forgot the time before, perhaps to return to it in the time to come.
