A shot of THOSE abandoned boats...

Taken last September. Thought I'd upload a shot as I haven't done so for ages!!

The horizon might look a bit wonky, but it isn't (according to the spirit level!) - it must be the line of the far shore that makes it appear so.

C&C welcome, as walways.

1/5 sec at f16, 20mm

Cheers,

I really like it a lot. Good colours and dramatic. Maybe a bit brighter and CCW rotation will make it even better. I would certainly hang this on my wall.
Well done.

Look like the same boats that i shot near salem on mull a couple of years back.
Wish mine were as nice as this one. I like it a lot.

Yeah very nice image. As you say it does look like it needs some rotation, but if you say it doesn't........

Wonderful colours and dramatic lighting - well seen!

Thanks for the comments. I think, on reflection, I might rotate it slightly, because it does look like its slanting, even though it (apparently!) wasn't. And I wont always be able to explain that's its just an illusion...

Maybe my spirit level is faulty!

And Matt, you're correct - it is those 'famous' boats at Salem!

Thanks again all!

Was this shot taken near Salen on the Isle of Mull? It looks really familiar... Nice and moody and quite stylised.
