I like this one better then the other SEA. Not because the other is not good, but this one blows it out of the water. Floating history at its finest. A contest contender for sure.
She looks rather complicated to sail but your presentation is excellent. That sky is a perfect backdrop. The little fellow aspires to become "Big Brother." Well done Cornelius.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Like our agent SOT I prefer this one too. Just smashing!:) Now I feel I have to tell you my ideas about those numerous lines, ropes, pendants and other hanging things [generally referred to as rigging :)]. They give a very complex appearance not only to the ships but to the photographs too and in the effect suggest to me the HDR treatment in each case. And your handling of the subject is perfect, dear SEAS. My goodness! What a contest this is going to be ! Only the winners so far! The level is unbelievably high and this gives me a good excuse for standing aside to watch and admire. SAM & SAAB
When I was kid I spent a lot of time assembling historic ship modelsCutty Sark, the Golden Hind, the Mayflower, etc.and most of it in getting the rigging just right. A nightmare but worth the effort. This four-master really brings back those days (when my eyes could paint eyes on quarter-inch-high plastic crew members!) and, next to the small craft and the others in the hazy distance, clearly illustrates the massive size of these ships. Modern technology and progress may have streamlined the water craft of today but they simply don't have the elegance, grace, beauty and workmanship of what you've captured here. -Nik
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Aah, even better than the last one...a classic beauty with all the lines and sails and lovely to have a little companion in the scene too...wonderful shot, SEA.
I don't know what to admire first: the majestic beauty of the ship..the strong nostalgic feeling that the image suggests...the perfection of the details...Wonderful work,my friend !
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
