The processing has a dramatic effect on the appeal of this image. I like the angle of the ship but not the tilt of the horizon.

How odd, a ship in the bog. Nice processing.

Neat shot. The processing works very well on this image.

Interesting subject. The processing doesn't look quite right -- the mast against the sky, for instance.

Interesting processing plasing focus squarly on the ship

Not too fond of the editing style. Main subject is crisply focused. 6

wow, that's crazy! what a cool picture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/27/2010 08:58:22 AM
this is unique, but for my likes it is a little over processed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

this is such a cool find...I'm hoping you will tell the story of how you found this treasure...I know it's been used before but it was still standing in the water at that time...loved it then....love it now

great find and the composition is nice.. tilting the horizon really adds to the sinking feeling! A little more isolation of the ship from the background would have really done wonders for this shot! 6

wow, thats pretty cool. Nice find.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the contrast between the dark sky and bright reflected sky. It's kind of bizarre that there seems to be a pirate ship in the middle of nowhere, I like that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/25/2010 11:48:00 AM
Wow! Those tones are just plain to die for! And an interesting, artistic scene too! Congratulations!

I like it, but the editing looks over the top...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/24/2010 03:46:47 PM
Love the tilt & the processing......well done.....7

Interesting place to fine a sailing ship. How did it get into that pond in the first place?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Whimsical in a way, and I think that the processing encourages this feel. Some may consider it (the processing) a bit much but I think it suis this very well! I like the overall tilt, too. Quite like this!

Another photo where the subject matter is great and the composition very good but the over the top HDR processing ruins it for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 09:20:34 PM
great on the body of ship but masts are too over done for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 02:51:29 PM
nice find but i feel the PP is a bit over done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 10:11:30 AM
Now that is a cool subject that makes for an interesting photography subject......However, the image is too overprocessed for my liking, and the crop also seems too close
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Pirates!!! I hope you found their booty! You did a wonderful job here and the pp is also wonderul.
